Corporate Transactional Paralegal

Richemont | New York, NY

Reports to: Senior Legal Counsel

 

Role Overview

The Corporate Transactional Paralegal role will report to our Senior Legal Counsel and play a critical role in supporting the legal department’s efforts in managing and executing a broad range of transactional matters, including distribution and wholesale contracts, commercial contracts and other complex business transactions.  The ideal candidate  should possess a deep understanding of corporate and contractual law and be well versed in the contracting process from inception to signature.  This role will be pivotal in enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, mitigating risk, and ensuring compliance across our business units.

 

This is a high-intensity role suited for a seasoned legal professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can manage multiple high-stakes projects simultaneously.  Must be able to prioritize and re-prioritize efficiently in a fluid environment, and exercise exceptional judgment in knowing when to be flexible and when to draw a hard line or escalate an issue.  At the same time, you should share our team’s commitment to treating everyone in the Richemont family with kindness and respect.  The right candidate will be able to correspond with and interact professionally with internal and external stakeholders at all levels, from junior level colleagues to the executive suite.  To thrive you must have a proactive mindset and be curious about all facets of our business with an eagerness toward building relationships across the company based on trust and empathy.

 

Beyond technical expertise, we expect a strong commitment to professionalism, the ability to work independently when necessary but to also possess a collaborative spirit. As a small but highly functioning, regional legal department, our team relishes in wearing many legal hats in support of the company.  While you will primarily provide day-to-day assistance for distribution and commercial transactional matters, you should be comfortable providing general support and assistance on matters beyond distribution and commercial projects, especially as business needs evolve.  This role requires adaptability, resourcefulness, and a solution-oriented approach to legal challenges in a dynamic corporate environment.  If you have other legal experience you may contribute to our legal department, let us know.  There is room here for you to grow and design your dream job.
