Senior is a full-time, dynamic role with EY’s Global Delivery Services team in Bengaluru, India in Legal Advisory Services. The position will be ideal for someone who can help the global EY Law network with comprehensive end-to-end legal support. Your everyday duties will go beyond mere administrative ones. Interpret and apply complex regulations to real-life business situations, and collaborate closely with internal stakeholders and international teams.
This role encompasses various corporate legal roles such as entity compliance and governance, contract lifecycle management, and cross-border transactions. Since it’s a senior level job, it will be expected that you will have strong project management abilities, and that you can handle several projects at the same time and still keep to these global legal requirements. You will also have the opportunity to research and summarise intricate regulatory environments and vast amounts of legal information into easily digestible, practical, advisory information for the broader business. A very collaborative culture where you will regularly collaborate with other EY staff members across the tax and advisory function to provide integrated solutions.
Salary Expectations
As EY doesn’t publish the salary range explicitly on their job postings, they have a very competitive salary structure, intended to bring and keep the best legal talent. The nature of this Senior post generally means the candidate must be a specialist who has four to five years’ experience in post-qualification, so it is in a good middle level professional bracket. The compensation packages for similar legal advisory roles at the other three Big Four firms in Bengaluru indicate that it is quite a lucrative package on offer. In addition to its salary, EY is known for providing a comprehensive benefits package, which includes health insurance, ongoing training opportunities, career growth paths, and flexible work options that encourage a healthy balance between work and life.
How to Apply
Applicants should have a degree in law from a recognised university, this could be an LLB or LLM. EY is particularly interested in candidates with 4-5 years of post-qualification experience in corporate or financial services law, preferably with strong cross-border compliance, mergers and acquisitions or multi-jurisdictional contract management exposure. It is not always essential to have an extra Company Secretary qualification, but it can be seen as a bonus.
The easiest way to apply is to go to the official website of EY careers and click on their job search portal. There, you can narrow down your search to opportunities for Bengaluru and specifically the Senior Legal Advisory Services role in the Global Delivery Services team. The position is also regularly posted on job websites and professional networking sites.
