M&A Counsel (Sport Media) - 1yr FTC (remote work available)

Save job

Exciting opportunity for an M&A Counsel to join an exciting business in the sports media and gaming sector. This is a 12 month contract. The offices are in Central London – as well as London-based candidates, the client is also open to applications from those who live elsewhere in the UK who wouldn’t be required to come in on a regular basis.

Working in partnership with the M&A team, you would provide support on key transactions for the business. You will have the chance to work alongside a collaborative and talented team whilst also taking ownership of important matters on an independent basis.

A significant part of the role will be focusing on a large recent acquisition by the business. The M&A Counsel will be covering due diligence, drafting documentation, project managing key elements of the acquisition, and liaising with legal and other stakeholders (both internal and external). You will also have the opportunity to contribute to drafting, reviewing and advising on commercial agreements.

The business believes that the role would be ideally suited to someone between 2-4 PQE but applications from all levels will be considered on merit. You will have solid experience and involvement with all elements of a corporate/M&A transaction, and ideally exposure to projecting managing a post-acquisition integration.

You must be available to start in February, and have the right to work in the UK (no sponsorship can be provided)

Robert Walters Operations Limited is an employment business and employment agency and welcomes applications from all candidates
