Client by client, we've built a reputation for first-class work, a pragmatic approach, and impeccable standards of service and ethics. We count many of the world's most respected companies and institutions as longtime clients, and serve organizations at all stages of development. Clients trust us with their most important matters because they know we understand their businesses and deliver the results they need. Our deeply rooted culture of teamwork means that our lawyers work closely with colleagues around the world to provide support to clients. This collaborative approach encourages our lawyers to work alongside partners and clients on sophisticated matters. We work as a team to support a range of leading legal practices, including private equity, M&A, capital markets, finance, asset management, real estate, tax, antitrust, life sciences, health care, intellectual property, litigation & enforcement, data, privacy & cybersecurity, and business restructuring. Ropes & Gray London is one of the largest offices in the Ropes & Gray network, and the hub of the firm's EMEA network and set up in London in 2010. While we are now an established presence in the UK, we've retained all the buzz of our start-up years.

Our clients like to work with us. We are, of course, always professional, but we are personal, and personable with it. As a group, we're international, diverse and our team is always professional, but uniquely personable.

That means that every hire we make is an important investment for the firm, because each team member has a distinct role to play in delivering excellent service to our clients. Qualifications and Skills We are in need of a lawyer to help on a specific funds liquidation project in our PE team. We are looking for a 6, 7 PQE lawyer. They do not need to be a funds lawyer as most of the work will be due diligence and co-ordinating a team of 2-4 supporting paralegals. We are ideally looking for someone full time for 6 months. Our current hybrid working policy is Monday - Thursday in the office and Friday working from home. We would be open to this person working in the office 1 or 2 days a week. We would also consider candidates that are looking to work 4 days rather than 5 days.
