Lawyer (Independent Contractor) – Remote
Avantia Law is leading the way in legal services innovation. Our team of talented lawyers, backed by AI, work with clients to deliver routine legal and compliance work fast and cost‑efficiently.
We have experienced exceptional growth and success since our inception in 2019. Our clients are sophisticated, high‑calibre investment funds and asset managers. They expect a premium service—and we deliver.
THE ROLE
We're looking for an experienced qualified Lawyer to join Avantia on a freelance/consultancy basis to spearhead the negotiation of investment‑related NDAs, Engagement Letters, joinder agreements and non‑reliance letters. You'll manage every phase of the contract process—from initial review and negotiation, guided by client playbooks, all the way through to document execution.
Working closely with fellow global Avantia lawyers and paralegals, you'll dive into fast‑paced, high‑volume negotiations on pre‑M&A contracts (mainly ELs and investment related NDAs), collaborating directly with counterparties while ensuring rapid turnaround times.
This role is fully remote and allows you to practice law flexibly. Due to turnaround times agreed with our clients, we ask for a minimum commitment of 20 hours per week, spread across Monday to Friday. However, please note that, as this is a freelance arrangement, we cannot guarantee regular work.
Competencies
- Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, changing and dynamic environment, independently and as part of a team.
- Efficient and capable of prioritising multiple tasks and deadlines while respecting work‑life balance.
- Committed to delivering high quality services to our clients with a strong work ethic.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, providing crisp, concise and straightforward advice.
- Strong grasp of relevant legal concepts with a commercial and pragmatic outlook.
Requirements
- Licensed to practice Law in the UK, Europe, USA or Canada.
- Fluent in French and/or German.
- 5+ years’ corporate/transactional law experience, either in‑house or private practice.
- Familiarity with asset managers, investment banks or other financial services firms (preferable but not essential).
- Experienced negotiating investment‑related NDAs and Engagement Letters independently.
Benefits
Compensation for the role will be paid on a fixed per‑document basis, details of which will be discussed during the first screening call with our Talent Team.
Recruitment Process
- Call with Talent Team.
- Contract mark‑up exercise (independent task).
- Interview with Legal Directors.
