OUR FIRM

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. We have a proven track record in this, often winning new clients through referrals.

We are powered by AI, but committed to our people.

We offer a culture of trust and flexibility to employees. We have an office in London for those wishing to spend some portion of their working time with colleagues, but employees are equally welcome to work entirely remotely. We have a truly diverse workforce, with members of staff coming from all corners of the world.

Avantia Law is offering a permanent, full-time position with the flexibility of remote working, anywhere in Europe*.

*Note for candidates based outside of the United Kingdom, this role will be offered on a freelance/consultancy basis.

THE ROLE


We’re looking for an experienced Lawyer to spearhead the negotiation of investment-related NDAs, joinder agreements and other key commercial contracts that our clients rely on. 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. As the primary point of contact for your clients, you’ll play a crucial role in building and nurturing strong, lasting relationships.


Master of Negotiation: You'll dive into fast-paced, high-volume negotiations on pre-M&A contracts (mainly investment related NDAs), collaborating directly with counterparties while ensuring rapid turnaround times. Your insight will keep client playbooks sharp and up-to-date.

Client Relationship Maven: As a trusted advisor, you'll manage and strengthen your client relationships, ensuring they see you as their go-to expert in corporate law.

Collaborative Leader: Working closely with fellow Avantia lawyers and paralegals, you’ll mentor junior team members, review their work, and support training efforts to help the whole team thrive.

COMPETENCIES

  • Comfortable with a fast-paced, changing and dynamic environment with the ability to work effectively independently and as part of a team.
  • Efficient. While we are committed to respecting work-life balance, we also expect staff to move quickly on matters while at work and manage and appropriately prioritise multiple tasks and competing demands and deadlines.
  • Committed to delivering a quality service to our clients with a strong work ethic to match.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Our clients value and expect us to provide crisp, concise, and straightforward advice.
  • Strong grasp of relevant legal concepts combined with a commercial and pragmatic outlook.
  • A self-starter who takes ownership. We look for people who are constantly thinking of ways to innovate our technology and our business. As our growth continues, there will be new and exciting opportunities to get involved and contribute to our continued evolution and success.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES

At Avantia, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace, and we firmly believe in equal opportunities for all. We value and celebrate the unique perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences that each individual brings to our team. We embrace diversity in all its forms. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered to contribute their best work. Our hiring process is merit-based, and we welcome applications from all qualified individuals. We encourage you to communicate any reasonable accommodations you may need during the recruitment process and future employment.
