Barden is partnering on an exclusive basis with an Irish fund management company looking to hire a paralegal to join their collegiate legal team in Dublin.
THE OPPORTUNITY
While this is a permanent position, the company is very uniquely looking for someone focused and ambitious who has a very defined career path for themselves and who wants to pursue the FE1 exams and train as a Solicitor. The team sees this role as a natural stepping stone for someone while they study for the FE1s. In return, they are hoping to have a dedicated and talented colleague for 18-24 months. Therefore, candidates should not be too advanced in their FE-1 journey.
THE RESPONSIBILITIES
- Assisting with the review of due diligence for legal and regulatory compliance;
- Assisting with the drafting and reviewing of fund documentation and agreements;
- Dealing with internal legal queries and assisting with the provision of advice to internal departments on applicable laws and regulations;
- Researching areas of law and topics of interest for the Legal team;
- Assisting the Legal team with all aspects of office management, including document and file management.
PROFILE REQUIREMENTS
The successful individual:
- Has recently finished their law degree/masters;
- Has plans to start the FE1 exams in the short term or has completed some already (3 would be the very maximum).
- Has circa 6 months/1 year of legal experience, ideally in a role drafting and reviewing documentation and preferably in the financial services or funds sector (this is an advantage but not a hard requirement).
- Has excellent attention to detail, organisational skills and superb communication.
