This is a senior transaction support role at one of Dublin’s leading boutique M&A practices. The firm has an established reputation for advising on complex corporate transactions and operates with a lean, high-performing team. This hire is central to how the firm manages and executes its deal flow.
The successful candidate will work directly alongside the firm’s Legal Technology and Innovation Manager across the full lifecycle of M&A transactions. Responsibilities span ancillary documentation, execution management, data room administration, post-completion filings and company secretarial matters. The role carries genuine responsibility from the outset and is structured to develop significantly over time.
The firm has made a substantial investment in proprietary systems that automate and streamline the document-intensive side of transactional work. The successful candidate will be trained on those systems and, as they progress, will be expected to operate them independently. For the right person, this represents a meaningful opportunity to develop expertise across legal operations and technology.
THE ROLE
Responsibilities will include:
- Preparing and coordinating ancillary transaction documents across live M&A deals
- Managing completion checklists and the execution phase of transactions
- Data room setup, maintenance and management
- Post-completion administration and filing
- Company secretarial work including CRO filings, registers, resolutions and minutes
- Working within and, in time, independently operating the firm’s proprietary document automation systems
THE PERSON
Applications are welcomed from individuals with backgrounds in M&A, funds or banking-side transaction work. The firm is primarily concerned with the quality and relevance of transactional experience, and with a demonstrated interest in how technology is applied to legal practice.
The following are required:
- A minimum of three years of relevant transactional experience
- A demonstrable interest in legal technology and process-driven working
- Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities without close supervision
- Sound judgment and the capacity to work effectively in a fast-moving transactional environment
Individuals whose career objective is to develop within legal operations and transaction management, rather than to qualify as a solicitor, will be particularly well suited to this position.
WHY THIS ROLE
- Direct involvement in live M&A transactions at a firm with a strong market reputation
- Daily use of proprietary systems that place this firm at the forefront of how transactional work is delivered in practice
- A structured development path with genuine scope to take on increased responsibility over time
- A small, collegiate team in which individual contribution is visible and recognised
