Our client is a leading compliance and sustainability tech platform, serving customers worldwide across manufacturing, pharma, and global enterprise. PE-backed, fast-growing, purpose driven company - they are making several acquisitions in EMEA and APAC, and want to bring in a high quality lawyer who deal with the post-deal/integration, but also put themselves in the frame to be a more permanent resource to the company.

  • Supporting UK and EU corporate governance and regulatory compliance
  • Monitoring UK law developments and keeping the global legal team informed
  • Collaborating with Sales, Finance, and the US legal team on cross-border matters
