• As the primary point of contact for your clients, you'll play a crucial role in building and nurturing strong, lasting relationships.
• You'll dive into fast-paced, high-volume negotiations on pre-M&A contracts (mainly investment related NDAs), collaborating directly with counterparties while ensuring rapid turnaround times.
• Your insight will keep client playbooks sharp and up-to-date.
• As a trusted advisor, you'll manage and strengthen your client relationships, ensuring they see you as their go-to expert in corporate law.
