Legal Counsel - Permanent Part-Time

Our client is a reputable Financial Consultancy offering financial advice and planning. With 320 employees and offices located all over the UK this is an opportunity for a permanent part-time legal counsel to support the business across a variety of Commercial & Corporate and Company Secretarial duties. You will have a strong Corporate background as the company's growth is strategy driven through acquiring other businesses.

The requirement is for 3 days per week (any days) with flexibility around days and a requirement of only 1 day per week in the office. Our client is not wedded to where this person is located as long as there is an ability to get to London one day a week as this role offers flexibility to work from home on the other 2 days.

As sole legal counsel you will have the confidence to work with internal and external stakeholders as well as external counsel across a variety of legal issues:

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating legal contracts and agreements.
• Work with the acquisition team on M&As ensuring a thorough due diligence process and legal risk post M&A.
• Work across business operations with respect to a variety of legal issues around employment, consultancy arrangements and property leases.
• Preparation of board packs and follow up of post board meeting action plans.
• Implement and set up of company share scheme.
• Attend board and committee meetings when required.

To be suitable you must be a qualified Lawyer with a minimum of 4 years post qualified experience. You will have training from either an inhouse or private practice firm and have the requisite experience outlined above preferably in a medium to large sized company structure. M&A experience is essential and so is an ability to work autonomously.
