We have been named as one of The Times' Top 50 Employers for Gender Equality for the 10th year running, recognised by Stonewall as a top 10 employer for LGBTQ+ inclusion, and by the Social Mobility Employer Index as a top employer for advancing social mobility.

Role overview

We are looking for an experienced Paralegal to join our Transactional team. The role will provide broad paralegal support across a variety of transactional matters, with a particular emphasis on preparing, reviewing, and managing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Experience with other documentation relating to corporate, finance, or commercial transactions is highly valued. Working shift will be aligned with New York business hours, from 2:30pm to 10:30pm UK time.

Key responsibilities

  • Prepare, review, and manage NDAs and related transactional documents, ensuring legal accuracy and consistency.
  • Support coordination of transactions, liaising with clients, lawyers, and third parties to facilitate smooth and timely execution of mandates.
  • Proactively manage document checklists, monitor compliance and deadlines, and serve as a central point of contact for transaction stakeholders.
  • Assist with due diligence processes, record management, and transaction bibles, with an emphasis on accurate documentation rather than post-completion administration.
  • Oversee completion processes for transactions and maintain comprehensive and up-to-date records.
  • Address client and internal queries regarding documentation and contribute to effective transaction delivery.
  • Provide regular updates on transaction progress and anticipated next steps.

Candidate requirements

  • LPC / SQE / foreign-qualified lawyers
  • At least two years' relevant paralegal experience in a leading law firm or legal team, with direct experience of transactional processes and a strong focus on drafting and negotiating NDAs.
  • Sound understanding of legal documentation, transaction management, and compliance processes.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks independently, exercising sound judgement and organisational skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, able to build constructive relationships at all levels.
  • A thorough and proactive approach, with a strong focus on attention to detail, accuracy, and efficient delivery.
  • Willingness and ability to work New York hours (2:30pm to 10:30pm UK time).
