  • Coordinate director briefings, support entity specific audits and periodic evaluations of governance roles and committees
  • Provide high-quality corporate legal advice on group-wide reorganizations and other ad hoc projects as required

Requirements:

  • Solicitor permitted to practice in Ireland or the United Kingdom
  • 4+ years post‑qualification experience in corporate, corporate governance, and/or regulatory practice at a leading law firm or in‑house in a multinational environment

  • Demonstrated written and verbal communication skills and having a proactive approach, who can distill complex and novel issues into concise documents for leadership and boards
  • Experience with quickly and accurately assessing legal, practical and business risks and presenting this advice succinctly and at speed

Nice to have:

  • Post‑graduate governance qualification and/or associate membership of a recognized governance institute (e.g., Chartered Secretary)
