About the Opportunity

A boutique, partner-led law firm with a growing corporate advisory and transactional practice is looking for a seasoned Execution Partner to anchor and expand its General Corporate vertical.

This role is ideal for a senior professional who thrives on execution, is solution-oriented, and wants to be the go-to person for closing transactions and delivering high-quality legal work, without the pressure of origination.

10–15 years of experience in general corporate law, with strong focus on deal execution

Prior experience in a law firm or corporate in-house legal role handling transactions

Strong drafting, negotiation, and analytical skills

Deep knowledge of the Companies Act, FEMA, and SEBI regulations

Ability to lead teams and own client relationships on the execution side

You’ll lead on quality delivery, with autonomy to run transactions your way

No micromanagement, no unnecessary hierarchy — just good work with good people

Competitive compensation with performance-based incentives
