Taylor Root are running a brand new Legal Counsel position in Dubai which will involve a wide variety of transactional legal work,
with time split between assisting a growing family office and the main business owned by the principal.
This is a fairly unique opportunity to work both for an expanding family office which aims to invest in a range of start-up companies whilst also combining this with work for an associated corporate group which

Role and responsibilities:
* Providing assistance on corporate legal matters such as M&A, joint ventures, investments, and
intellectual property, notably actual and potential investments in startup companies in the
lifestyle, health and technology sectors.
* Drafting, reviewing and negotiate a wide variety of commercial agreements.
* Maintain local compliance and monitoring of Company's local legal needs.
* Work with the central legal team based in London and when needed offer support on matters
that will include corporate, finance and general commercial contracts.
Candidate requirements:
* 4-7 years' qualified legal experience gained in corporate department of an international law firm,
based in (or with significant time spent in) UAE.
* English law qualified, but with experience in United Arab Emirates.
* Experience of drafting documents and running corporate transactions.
