  • Negotiate and draft transaction documents, including share purchase agreements, asset purchase agreements, and joint venture agreements;
  • Analyze financial data and perform due diligence reviews to identify potential risks and opportunities;
  • Develop and implement effective deal structures and negotiate deal terms with counterparties;
  • Collaborate with colleagues from various practice areas to provide comprehensive advice to clients.
Requirements
