Your responsibilities & activities

As a Senior M&A Lawyer you will lead client files and advise both national and international corporate clients. Together with the team, you will support our clients within the framework of national and multi-jurisdictional M&A transactions. In this respect you will be involved in all steps of the sale/acquisition process, i.e. from the deal structuring, the pre-contractual negotiations, the due diligence, as well as the drafting of all transaction documents, to the organization of the closing. You will act as a direct contact person for our clients and are expected to have excellent communication skills. Since the team also has a focus on the start-up and scale-up community, you also have the opportunity to connect with this community and advise our fast-growing clients on all the questions and needs they have (e.g. investment rounds). In your function, you will become the right (and left) hand of EY Law’s M&A partner. Together with the M&A parner, you will lead and guide EY Law’s M&A team.
