About the Opportunity

A boutique, partner-led law firm with a growing corporate advisory and transactional practice is looking for a seasoned Execution Partner to anchor and expand its General Corporate vertical.

This role is ideal for a senior professional who thrives on execution, is solution-oriented, and wants to be the go-to person for closing transactions and delivering high-quality legal work, without the pressure of origination.

You’ll work closely with the senior leadership and lead end-to-end deal execution — from structuring to documentation to post-closing compliance. If you’re the kind of lawyer who gets satisfaction from building clarity out of complexity and owning the delivery process, you’ll enjoy this role.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage and execute M&A, PE/VC, joint ventures, and general corporate transactions from start to finish

• Lead drafting, negotiation, and closing of key documents (SPAs, SHAs, JV agreements, etc.)

• Oversee compliance matters under Companies Act, FEMA, and other applicable regulations

• Guide associates and junior team members through execution-heavy phases of deals

• Liaise with clients, advisors, and regulators to ensure smooth deal flow and turnaround

• Conduct legal due diligence, risk assessments, and provide actionable legal insights

• Draft and review commercial contracts, corporate documents, board resolutions, and filings

• Support internal process building and quality control of corporate work product

What We’re Looking For

• LL.B. from a recognised university

• 10–15 years of experience in general corporate law, with strong focus on deal execution

• Prior experience in a law firm or corporate in-house legal role handling transactions

• Strong drafting, negotiation, and analytical skills

• Deep knowledge of the Companies Act, FEMA, and SEBI regulations

• Ability to lead teams and own client relationships on the execution side

• Strong organisational skills and ability to work across multiple matters simultaneously

• Someone who takes initiative, is self-managed, and thrives in a team that values trust and responsibility

What’s Unique About This Role

• You get to focus on execution — no pressure to bring in business

• You’ll work in a tight-knit, collaborative team that supports deep legal thinking

• You’ll lead on quality delivery, with autonomy to run transactions your way

• No micromanagement, no unnecessary hierarchy — just good work with good people

• Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives
