The London team is lean and growing, offering early responsibility, direct client access and the opportunity to play a meaningful role in building out the practice. The environment is collaborative, fast-paced and entrepreneurial in feel.

Candidates should have:

• Admission to a US State Bar and a JD qualification;
• 2-6 years' experience, with a clear focus on M&A or strategic transactions;
• Strong drafting skills and experience managing transaction processes;
• A commercial, solutions-oriented mindset and interest in the tech ecosystem; and
• The ability to operate effectively in a dynamic, growth-focused team; and
• A willingness to contribute to the development of the practice and support junior lawyers.
