You will work within client-approved playbooks and structured legal frameworks, ensuring consistency, accuracy, and alignment with sponsor-side positions. Your work forms part of broader transactions, contributing to efficient deal execution in high-volume environments.

You will also leverage our proprietary AI-enabled platform to assist with document review, deviation identification, and playbook application—maintaining full ownership and accountability for final outputs.

• Support multiple concurrent transactions in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments.

• Collaborate with a global legal team to ensure consistency and quality across deliverables.

Required Experience:

• LLB (or equivalent legal qualification)

• 1–3 years’ experience in transactional legal work/ contract review or or similar high-volume legal environments.

• Demonstrated experience reviewing NDAs and/or similar commercial agreements.

• Experience working within structured legal frameworks, templates, or playbooks.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to deliver consistent, high-quality outputs.

• Excellent written and spoken English (essential for international client work).

Preferred Experience:

• Experience supporting private equity, M&A, or financing transactions (in a support capacity)

• Background in law firms / in-house legal teams / Big Four legal practices/ Alternative Legal Service Providers (ALSPs)

• Experience working with US or cross-border clients

• Exposure to legal technology, document automation, or AI-enabled workflow.

Please submit your application and CV in English. Advanced English proficiency is required to support our international clients and global team.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 9 points (from 73 before penalties). Reviewed 21 Sep 2026.
