- Draft and negotiate SPAs, shareholder agreements, disclosure documents and ancillary documents
- Run deal workstreams day to day and be a main point of contact for clients
- Coordinate with international offices and local counsel on cross-border transactions
- Supervise, train and develop junior lawyers
- Work with the firm's specialist teams, such as tech, finance, IP and regulatory, on sector-led deals
- Help partners with client pitches and business development
What you'll bring
- 3 to 10 years' PQE in M&A or corporate law at a top Dutch or international firm
- PE or sponsor-side deal experience, ideally buy-outs, carve-outs or auctions
- Experience on cross-border transactions
