SENIOR LEGAL COUNSEL, CORPORATE, DUBAI
CLIENT: We are acting for a major global service provider with their need for a new Senior Legal Counsel in Dubai. The company has assets and interests worldwide, with Dubai as a major hub.
ROLE: Working very closely with the General Counsel, you will assist on a wide variety of work, with a predominantly corporate focus - structuring, due diligence, execution and completion of JV's, capital raising, M&A and PE will all be part of your remit and will account for the majority of the work. However, on top of this the nature of the business means that other more diversified areas will also be available for you to work on such as commercial agreements, employment, IP, insurance, construction, real estate and technology.
CANDIDATE: You will need to be around 7-12 PQE Common Law qualified and it is essential that you have a very strong private practice background from a major international law firm. Candidates without this backbone cannot be considered. Ideally you will be based in Dubai already though particularly strong candidates from overseas might be considered. You will be a high calibre corporate lawyer who wants to continue doing high quality transactional work but also happy to help out on a variety of other different areas as and when you need to.
