- Support Advisory teams in connection with existing engagements, including to support clients in structuring and fundraising activities
- Take a lead role in legal operational matters, including with respect to contract management, precedents and processes, all with the support of our Legal Administrator
- Manage the establishment of new entities, including (alongside local counsel) company and tax registration, localisation of employment agreements, and office leases
- Manage and report on compliance of existing Group entities including with respect to corporate matters (statutory requirements and timeframes) and (working alongside the People Team) employment and immigration issues
- Support additional policy priorities in areas relevant to CrossBoundary’s evolving business development needs
- Law degree with strong academic credentials from an accredited university and associated Bar admission
- At least 4 – 6 years of experience in a premier law firm and/or an in-house legal department
- Experience with corporate matters, in particular regarding Delaware LLCs
- Experience working across multiple jurisdictions and time zones
- Familiarity with corporate documents and processes, ideally in both civil law and common law jurisdictions
- Advanced understanding of finance concepts and structures, ideally with experience in the structuring of US-based funds and related securities law questions
- Experience drafting, reviewing and negotiating finance documents, share purchase agreements and other corporate agreements
- Fluency in the English language is required; additional language skills would be a great plus
Think you have what it takes but not sure you check every box? Research shows that while men apply to roles when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women often only apply when they meet every requirement. If you're passionate about what we're building, we want to hear from you
