We combine specialist sector expertise with AI-powered workflows to help clients move faster, manage risk, and scale globally. From London to New York, weâre building a new model for legal and compliance delivery - one that blends the precision of expert lawyers with the efficiency and insight of technology. Our proprietary AI platform, Ava, underpins every service we deliver. It streamlines manual processes, surfaces institutional knowledge, and empowers our attorneys to negotiate from a position of strength, respond faster, and deliver consistently better outcomes. But technology alone isnât what sets us apart - itâs how we use it. Avantia is built for people who see change as an opportunity. Weâre a team of lawyers, technologists, and specialists who want to shape the future of our industry, not just adapt to it. We value clarity over caution, innovation over inertia, and collaboration over hierarchy. Weâre pragmatic, ambitious, and united by a shared belief that legal and compliance services can be delivered with greater impact and less friction. THE ROLE Weâre looking for an experienced Lawyer to join Avantia on a consultancy basis to spearhead the negotiation of investment-related NDAs, joinder agreements, engagement letters and non-reliance letters. Youâll manage every phase of the contract processâfrom initial review and negotiation, guided by client playbooks, all the way through to document execution. Working closely with fellow Avantia lawyers and paralegals, you'll dive into fast-paced, high-volume negotiations on pre-M&A contracts (mainly investment related NDAs and ELs), collaborating directly with counterparties while ensuring rapid turnaround times. This role is fully remote and allows you to practice law flexibly. Due to turnaround times agreed with our clients, we ask for a minimum commitment of 20 hours per week, spread across Monday to Friday. COMPETENCIES Comfortable with a fast-paced, changing and dynamic environment with the ability to work effectively independently and as part of a team. Efficient.

Committed to delivering a quality service to our clients with a strong work ethic to match. Excellent verbal and written communication skills. Our clients value and expect us to provide crisp, concise, and straightforward advice. Strong grasp of relevant legal concepts combined with a commercial and pragmatic outlook. EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES At Avantia, we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace, and we firmly believe in equal opportunities for all. We value and celebrate the unique perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences that each individual brings to our team. We embrace diversity in all its forms. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels respected, valued, and empowered to contribute their best work. Our hiring process is merit-based, and we welcome applications from all qualified individuals. We encourage you to communicate any reasonable accommodations you may need during the recruitment process and future employment. Please let your Talent team contact know ahead of any interview, we will be happy to suggest or confidentially discuss reasonable adjustments. Requirements Licensed to practice Law in the USA or Canada 2+ yearsâ corporate/ transactional law experience, either inhouse or private practice. Experienced with independently negotiating investment related NDAs Familiarity of working with asset managers, investment banks or other financial services firms preferable but not essential.
