Main Purpose:


As the Regional Corporate Paralegal for North and South America you will be responsible for all aspects of company secretarial and associated matters for group companies in North & South America.

This role is for someone keen to take on a varied and interesting role within a fast moving and dynamic team - this is not a traditional company secretarial role.

The role requires an individual who can take responsibility for a portfolio of companies in multiple jurisdictions and ad hoc duties.

Core duties include management of the corporate legal administration and compliance for those companies and various group projects and ad hoc requests.

It is important to note that the role requires a hands-on, flexible approach and a willingness to deal with regular day-to-day administration, such as filing, coordinating signatures, correspondence, etc.

In addition, the successful applicant will form part of a wider team (based in Amsterdam, Geneva, Mumbai and Singapore) who collectively perform the same role for group companies worldwide.
