Legal Consultant

About the role

The Legal Consultant will support the assessment, documentation and coordination of legal matters arising in business advisory engagements. You will review facts, research relevant legal questions and prepare clear written outputs for client and internal discussions. The role requires sound judgement about what needs further specialist review, careful handling of confidential information and an ability to explain legal issues in commercial terms. Work will be assigned according to professional eligibility, experience and the scope of the engagement.

Your responsibilities

• Review and draft commercial agreements, confidentiality documents and other business documentation within the assigned scope.
• Research legal and regulatory questions using reliable sources, identifying material assumptions and unresolved issues.
• Prepare issue notes, document comments and practical options for review by the responsible professional.
• Support corporate and transaction documentation by coordinating relevant facts with CA, CS and delivery teams.
• Organise matter files, version history, supporting records and follow-up actions.
• Participate in client discussions and communicate legal considerations in clear language.
• Escalate contentious, specialist or representation matters that require separately defined professional involvement.

What you bring

• A law qualification such as an LLB and relevant experience in contracts, corporate legal work or business advisory.
• Strong drafting, legal research and written communication skills.
• Ability to review contractual obligations, identify risk and explain the commercial implications.
• Careful attention to factual accuracy, confidentiality and document control.
• Relevant enrolment or professional authorisation where the assigned work requires it.
• A collaborative approach to working with finance, governance and compliance professionals.

What good work looks like

Good work makes the facts, legal issues and available options easier to understand. Documents should be precise, assumptions explicit and follow-up actions clear. The consultant should recognise the limits of the assignment and involve the right professional when a matter calls for additional expertise.
