EY Law - Corporate Secretary
In today’s ever-changing and interconnected world, organizations working across borders require access to constant, effective, and accurate legal advice to ensure both ethical and business compliance throughout their operations. Our globally recognized EY Law service line does exactly that and more with over 2000 lawyers covering more than 83 jurisdictions, allowing us to deliver exceptional legal advice to our clients and resolve complex business challenges for a better working world.
The Opportunity
We have an exciting opportunity to join our EY Law practice based in Pakistan as a Company Secretary (also known as a Corporate Secretary in some practices), where you will have the chance to work with many high-profile organizations on a range of diverse and interesting employment law matters as part of the business they do with other service lines within EY.
EY has many large and multi-national clients that require law services as part of the business they do with other service lines within EY. You will have an opportunity to provide complementary services to these clients, via multi-disciplinary teaming, with a view to offering these clients a fully integrated professional service solution.
You will also have the opportunity to develop your career through a broad scope of engagements, mentoring and formal learning to support your growth as a law professional and extend that same development to others within your team.
Your Key Responsibilities
As a member of the Entity Compliance and Governance (ECG) practice, you will work closely with your team to deliver an integrated service to our clients across a broad range of operational matters, such as market entry projects and company establishments, general corporate/governance matters (such as licence renewals and changes) and supporting the delivery of annual corporate compliance matters, both as part of global projects and locally won work.
You can expect much of your work to revolve around the coordination and delivery of ECG services such as supporting the team with the preparation of documents to establish new entities, reviewing and checking documents prepared by clients, identifying processes and documents needed for corporate amendments, liaising with government authorities to submit documents and request information, and assisting the team in ensuring statutory compliance deadlines are met.
Moreover, you will also contribute to the development of the legal practice through initiatives such as continuously sharing knowledge related to the procedures for establishing and maintaining companies, participating in team and firm events and actively developing your personal technical expertise and experience.
Skills and attributes for success
We are looking for someone who will create a distinctive and differentiated law brand with us: this role is best suited for law professionals who have worked in established law firms, and who wish to develop their career with this greenfield opportunity by being part of a growing team looking to create a new and successful legal practice.

• Good client relationship-building capabilities combined with strategic and commercial awareness.
• Excellent communication, collaboration, and project management skills.

Ideally, you also have:

• Keenness to continue developing your legal skills and engaging in new areas of work.
• A knack for solving problems creatively and pragmatically.
