Oversee matter timelines, deliverables, and coordination with internal teams and external stakeholders. Support partners with high-value or high-complexity matters when required. Legal Operations & Team Support Supervise junior lawyers, trainees, and corporate administrators where needed. Ensure accurate document management, version control, and internal compliance.

Contribute to the firm’s thought leadership (articles, guides, and client updates). What We’re Looking For 3–5 years PQE in corporate, commercial, or law firm practice (UAE or international experience acceptable). Law degree from a recognised university. Strong drafting and negotiation skills with excellent attention to detail.

Comfortable handling clients independently and advising on a range of commercial matters. Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Strong interest in emerging technology, fintech, or digital assets (or willingness to learn fast). Bonus: Experience with ADGM, DIFC, FSRA, DFSA, or VARA regulatory frameworks.

Bonus: Exposure to startups, venture-capital work, or cross-border structuring. Why Neo Legal? Work at the forefront of tech, digital assets, and next-gen commercial law. Direct access to partners and senior lawyers no bureaucracy, no slow growth paths.

Hands-on involvement in high-profile mandates with global clients. Ability to shape the legal strategies of fast-growing tech companies. A modern, tech-driven law firm culture with real autonomy and responsibility. Professional development, continuous learning, and clear long-term career progression.

Be part of a team that is redefining what legal practice looks like in the digital age. #J-18808-Ljbffr
