We’re an international legal practice and our goal is simple: to help our clients and our people succeed in tomorrow’s world.

In a business environment that’s facing new digital, economic, political and environmental challenges, we help our clients to gain competitive advantage by providing commercially focused insights and legal services.

We’ve been around for over 250 years and have a presence across Europe, Asia and the US. Within our core sectors, our clients range from market leaders to fast-growth companies.

Our structure and approach ensures we’re experts in the sectors our clients work in and we understand the issues they face. We believe that the more we understand the big picture, the more we can provide positive and insightful solutions across the spectrum of advisory, litigation and transactional services.

But we don’t stop at being experts. We believe in building diverse, enduring and rewarding relationships. Our clients and our people tell us that we have a strongly ingrained, genuinely differentiated approach that’s unstuffy and easy to work with. It’s what makes us different to other law firms and helps us to work in partnership with our clients and connect the dots that other law firms might not see.

Osborne Clarke

<p><b>
The practice</b></p>
<p>
Our highly profitable FIG practice, part of the Business Transactions Group (BTG), spans 4 core service lines: Investment Funds; Payments; Consumer and Small Business Finance; and Financial Regulation.</p>
<p>
We advise financial institutions, corporates and service providers on all aspects of the financial services environment in which they operate. We advise across the financial services market and our clients include clearing, commercial, private and investment banks, securities firms, asset and investment managers, e-money and payment institutions, and service providers. Our work ranges from pure advisory work through product launches to outsourcings and M&amp;A.</p>
<p>
We are known for our technical excellence, but more so for our solutions-led approach which makes us a good fit for assisting clients bringing innovative products to market. Much of our practice is international in nature, driven through the increasing OC International reach.</p>
<p><b>
The team</b></p>
<p><i>
&quot;The team is well balanced and well led. Their technical and commercial expertise is complemented by a culture of approachability, openness and business friendly professionalism.&quot; - Chambers &amp; Partners</i></p>
<p>
Our FIG team comprises 10 partners, 1 legal director and 25 lawyers with 5 trainee solicitors, 2 solicitor apprentice and 5 paralegals. The team operates from two offices, in London and Bristol.</p>
<p><b>
The role</b></p>
<p>
We act for a market leading private equity fund secondaries manager. We undertake secondary funds transactions for the client, which involves the purchase of interests in existing private equity funds. The client buys these interests on a portfolio basis, typically between 25 and 75 interests at a time. Each purchase of an interest requires completion of a significant amount of legal documentation, including transfer agreements and investor questionnaires. We have developed an online platform to help assist with the management of the transfer process, but we need legal input to negotiate the transfer agreements and to complete the investor questionnaires. Many of the transfers involve US fund managers and lawyers.</p>
<p>
In this role you will be:</p>
<ul>
<li>Working with lawyers representing the sellers and fund managers of the interests being transferred to agree transfer documentation.</li>
<li>Completing investor questionnaires.</li>
<li>Liaising with our client and its offshore administrators in relation to the above.</li>
<li>Managing the transfer process, including tracking the progress of each document and facilitating the completion of the transfer (and the payment for the interest).</li>
</ul>
<p><b>Skills and experience</b></p>
<p>
Previous experience working as a paralegal would be advantageous but not a pre-requisite. Most importantly, you need to be someone who is highly organised, commercially-minded, a team worker and able to put yourself in the shoes of the client. The paralegals who currently undertake this work spend most of their time in OC offices and regularly work outside normal office hours, for which we pay overtime.</p>
<p>
The successful candidate will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Demonstrate good oral and written communication skills;</li>
<li>Have experience of prioritising competing commitments and working to deadlines; and</li>
<li>Demonstrate a client-orientated approach, both internally and externally.</li>
