Transaction Legal Counsel

Employment Type: Contract

Team: Legal & Transaction Services

Location: Fully Remote (open to candidates based in Eastern and Southern Europe, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece.)

Company Description

Tangible is a fast-growing, tech-driven platform providing liquidity solutions to LPs and GPs in the private-markets secondaries space. By combining deep sector expertise with modern infrastructure, we unlock liquidity across private equity, private credit, and real assets, transforming the industry and enabling investors to move faster and smarter.

You will be a key member of Tangible's legal and execution team, working across a wide range of private-market transactions, including secondary transfers and NAV lending engagements. You will help shape and manage the transaction lifecycle, from legal documentation and regulatory onboarding to closing coordination and process execution. You'll play a critical role in ensuring our transactions run smoothly across multiple jurisdictions and counterparties. You will work independently, yet collaboratively, across deal teams, fund administrators, compliance partners, lenders, and institutional clients.

This is a remote role, open to candidates based in Eastern and Southern Europe, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece. Must have strong familiarity with both US and UK legal frameworks, as these jurisdictions underpin most of our work.

• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating legal documentation for secondary transactions and NAV lending, including NDAs, LOIs, Purchase & Sale Agreements, Transfer Agreements, Credit Agreements and other contractual materials that support the transaction lifecycle.
• Interpreting fund documentation such as LPAs, offering materials, and side letters to identify transferability guidelines, consent requirements, and closing constraints.
• Managing global closing workflows by coordinating with buyers, sellers, fund managers, administrators, custodians, lenders, and compliance teams to ensure timely and accurate execution of all legal and operational deliverables.
• Overseeing KYC/AML onboarding processes for all counterparties, including identity verification, beneficial ownership review, and regulatory compliance requirements.
• Improving legal infrastructure by refining templates, playbooks, checklists, and standardised processes to enhance consistency and reduce friction.
• Acting as a trusted advisor to internal teams, providing clear, concise guidance on legal requirements, transaction feasibility, and risk considerations in a fast-moving environment.
• Collaborating across business units, ensuring alignment between legal, operations, deal teams, and platform workflows.

You are a confident lawyer who thrives in a global, fast-moving environment. You're comfortable navigating cross-border transactions, interpreting complex structures, and coordinating among multiple stakeholders.

To succeed in this role, you bring:

• 5+ years of post-qualification transaction legal experience, ideally in investment banking or financial institutions, private equity, advisory services, or corporate law in US or UK-governed agreements.
• Strong familiarity with both US and UK law-governed agreements, with the ability to interpret and apply these frameworks in a global transactional context.
• Ability to draft, review, and negotiate high-quality agreements under tight timelines.
• Experience with KYC/AML or regulatory compliance processes.
• Exceptional communication skills, able to translate complexity into clear, actionable guidance.
• Strong organisational discipline, with a structured approach to balancing multiple active workstreams.
• A pragmatic, commercially minded approach, supported by strong legal judgment and integrity.

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience in financial services, private markets, or fintech platforms.
• Experience coordinating multi-party closings involving lenders, fund managers, administrators, custodians, and institutional investors.
• Comfort working across international time zones and cultures.

This is a high-impact role where your work directly influences the quality and efficiency of Tangible's global execution engine. You will help build the legal DNA of a scaling private-markets platform. We offer competitive compensation (contract), flexible remote work, and opportunities to grow within a mission-driven, globally distributed team.
