Corporate Legal Assistant

Our AIM listed client is looking for a Legal Assistant to report into the CFO. 

This is a varied and interesting role involving corporate / company secretarial legal matters such as board minutes, companies house matters, listing requirements, corporate governance, organising AGMs etc. This position will also involve commercial contracts work so you will need to be able to process contracts and legal documents through to execution.

The ideal candidate will be:

•    A Scottish qualified solicitor with at least 2 years PQE OR experienced in legal work in a professional services / private company in a similar in-house role
•    Experienced with commercial contracts
•    Experienced working in a general corporate advisory role 
•    Able to point to strong communication skills and good business and commerciality skills

In-house experience would be desirable, but the client would consider a private practice candidate looking to move in-house who could point to good business and commercial skills.

Our client envisages that candidates with 2 PQE will have the relevant skills / knowledge for this position, however this has been given as an approximate guide for applicants and our client is happy to consider the applications of candidates who fall outside of this PQE range but who have the relevant experience.
