About You

You should have excellent attention to detail, strong organisational and time management skills, and the ability to prioritise competing deadlines. A solid academic background in law is essential, and exceptional communication skills—both written and verbal—are required. The ability to work collaboratively as part of a team is just as important as the ability to manage tasks independently.

While previous experience in corporate law or transactional work (such as banking or finance) is an advantage, it is not essential. We provide access to in-house training programmes and day-to-day mentoring to help trainees quickly build their knowledge and skills. Most importantly, we value candidates who are eager to learn, willing to work hard, and have a clear interest in the corporate/M&A sector.

Your Career Starts Here

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a team engaged in high-quality transactional work. The successful candidate will be entrusted with real responsibilities, have the chance to participate in business development activities, and begin growing their professional network within a supportive and collaborative environment.

This role offers an exceptional foundation for a long-term legal career. You will gain exposure to the full lifecycle of corporate/M&A projects.

If you are ready to develop your skills in a fast-paced, international environment, we would love to hear from you.
