Part Time Corporate Legal Counsel

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a corporate lawyer to support this household name business advising the UK and EMEA regions. You will have the opportunity to work as part of a larger legal team whilst working in a niche corporate role. The team is a supportive environment where you will have the opportunity to develop both your legal and commercial skills in a fast paced and forward-thinking business. The quality of work is very high, and you will be given all the support and training typical of a large law firm whilst getting involved directly supporting a global business. This role can be undertaken on a part time basis, working closely with another experienced corporate lawyer.

Our client is a world leader in its field and going through continuous growth. This role has been created as a result.  You will undertake a specialist corporate role particularly supporting M&A activity. Work could include legal and risk management advice on acquisitions, disposals, investments, joint ventures, corporate restructurings and project management in the UK, Ireland and EMEA.

The ideal candidate will be a qualified lawyer who has strong experience in M&A activity ideally in cross-border transactions (although strong UK experience with some international exposure is sought). In-house experience would be a benefit but not essential. You will be pragmatic, a good communicator and a confident, calm individual. You must have a strong academic background and professional training with a reputable law firm or business.

The role can either be based in the East Midlands or London. Our client is a flexible employer and will consider some home working within this part time role.

This is an exciting, fast paced business with an enviable reputation.
