In-house Legal Researcher/Paralegal Bournemouth, England
Job description
Richmond Group was founded in 1999 around a kitchen table by self-made serial entrepreneur, James, with £100 and a simple goal: to stop working in dead end jobs and do something meaningful. Today our assets are over £500m.

Your responsibilities will include drafting contracts, policies, and reviewing complex paperwork. You will work with external legal counsel (where appropriate) to advise us on how to structure deals, our options in adverse situations, and highlight key points in contracts. You will also be expected to think like an entrepreneur and have a commercial understanding of where the line is between what we can and cannot do.

- An openness to feedback and a drive to improve.
What we offer in return:
