If you want to be part of a global team, have access to a unique professional environment and wide range of exciting opportunities and challenges, you may fit perfectly into our expanding team.

The opportunity: Your next M&A adventure awaits
This is your unique opportunity to become a part of the dynamic and global EY Law team of more than 3,500 lawyers in 90+ countries around the globe. In EY Law you will help clients achieve their strategic objectives, often in collaboration with our colleagues from other countries and other business areas. When collaborating with other business areas in EY, you will work as one team to provide an integrated solution to our clients, accommodating all of their commercial needs. We believe in teaming and collaboration across the entire firm, and consequently, we can provide a one-stop-shop concept to provide the best solutions to our clients.

When you join EY, you will get the opportunity to work on exciting challenges, complex problems and large projects in collaboration with an amazing team, and we will help you develop and specialize your skills even further, benefitting both you and our clients. We are committed to help you achieve your full potential, and you will therefore be assigned a counsellor and a buddy to support your professional and personal development.

Your primary responsibility will be to use your skills to provide legal advice on M&A projects and develop valuable and sustainable solutions for our clients and guide them on how to achieve their objectives. You will be responsible for all legal aspects of our advice on specific transactions and lead a team highly motivated legal colleagues to deliver value and progress.

You will work closely with our specialist in Corporate Finance and be engaging with the client at a very early stage of the transaction process. You will work with colleagues from other countries and other service lines to provide support that also covers structural advice together with financial, tax and legal due diligence in one global integrated solution for the benefit of the client. You will experience how a cross-border and cross-functional approach and the combination of many different specialists from many different countries in one project will help you grow as a professional and provide new dimensions to your legal work.
