Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Hybrid – 3 days office after probation

CSC’s Global Subsidiary Management (GSM) team provides corporate compliance and governance services to Fortune 500 companies in over 140 countries worldwide. By partnering with CSC, our clients reduce the complexity that comes with international operations. Our global presence with local experts helps our clients meet their subsidiaries’ regulatory compliance requirements, regardless of where in the world they are registered.

This is a fantastic opportunity as we now expand our GSM team in the UAE!

About the role

We are looking for someone who has a few years of legal experience within the UAE and who wants to take the next step in their career. We are looking for someone who is motivated by the fact that no two days are the same, and who appreciates a role where teamwork, delivery and broad international work are at the heart of it.

As a corporate legal specialist with us, you will be responsible for your own client portfolio consisting of foreign groups with operations in the UAE. Together with your colleagues, you will coordinate and manage the formal aspects of the clients' local operations, and you create value by applying legal expertise in corporate administration.

In this role, you will assist clients with their annual compliance activities as well as various corporate law matters that arise during the year. One day you may be working on preparing and reviewing minutes and various corporate documents; the next day you may be involved in ad hoc transactions that require local expertise.

You will work closely with our team members globally. To thrive in this role, you should be able to work independently, enjoy problem-solving, be highly organized and thrive in a fast-paced environment. Our most successful employees are service-oriented, appreciate teamwork and have good project management skills.

Become part of a growing team and an exciting industry where your ideas and opinions are highly valued!
