Private Family Office Lawyer
Isle of Man
Permanent
Our client is a well-established Private Family Office, spanning a diverse portfolio of sectors including technology and AI, commercial property and land, waste management and recycling, and mechanical engineering - this is a sophisticated private office with an impressive breadth of activity.
They are seeking a Private Family Office Lawyer to join their team and work directly and closely alongside the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO), providing comprehensive legal, commercial and administrative support across their extensive personal, property and business interests.
This is not a traditional in-house legal position. Whilst a sound legal background is essential, this role demands equal comfort with practical business matters, third-party coordination and administrative responsibilities. Qualified lawyers are encouraged to apply, and our client would equally consider a highly experienced and commercially capable paralegal.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support and oversee the UBO's personal legal matters, including contracts, property transactions, estate planning and liaison with external legal advisers.
- Oversee a substantial UK commercial property and land portfolio, including acquisitions, disposals, leases, title matters, asset protection and general estate management.
- Provide legal and commercial assistance across the UBO's diverse business interests, including contract reviews, negotiations and general corporate matters.
- Liaise with accountants, company secretaries and professional service providers to coordinate statutory returns, annual accounts, company filings and ongoing corporate compliance.
- Review, draft, negotiate and monitor a variety of legal and commercial agreements across the UBO's personal and business interests.
- Act as a central point of contact for external solicitors, accountants, banks, property managers, surveyors, consultants and other professional advisers.
- Take ownership of ad hoc projects and matters arising across the UBO's affairs, ensuring actions are progressed and completed in a timely manner.
- Help safeguard the UBO's personal and commercial interests by identifying legal, contractual, property and operational risks and ensuring appropriate action is taken.
Key Skills and Experience:
- A qualified lawyer or experienced paralegal with a broad legal and commercial background
- Experience across corporate, commercial, property or private client matters - ideally more than one of these disciplines.
- Comfortable working across different industries and subject matters, adapting quickly to changing priorities.
- A practical, proactive and hands-on approach.
- Strong drafting and negotiation skills across a variety of commercial and legal agreements.
- Experience managing and coordinating external professional advisers.
- Excellent judgement, discretion and common sense.
This is a rare and genuinely distinctive opportunity to work at the heart of a dynamic private enterprise, supporting an individual whose ambitions and interests span multiple industries.
