Special Challenges
Since the team supports all US businesses, it’s a voluminous practice that is fast-moving and demanding. The candidate needs to be flexible, as working hours can be outside normal working hours from time to time due to the US location of the real estate team. While the role has a clear focus on US real estate related support, the Legal Services Global Operations team works as a central team supporting global operations and all staff are expected to take on support for other departments from time to time. This broadening of scope is also encouraged from a personal development perspective.
