Legal Operations Associate (Law Graduate Required)

About Lex Layer

LEX LAYER is a premier Dubai-based consultancy acting as the bridge for Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs and investors entering the UAE. We combine high-level legal structuring with investment strategy.

The Role

We are hiring a Spanish speaking Law Graduate with a role in the operational and legal backend of the firm. You will not be doing cold sales. Instead, you will ensure the "engine" of the business runs perfectly—handling government interactions, reviewing contracts, and managing the needs of our existing client portfolio.

You will act as the "Quality Control" layer before documents reach the Client, and you will identify opportunities to offer additional services to clients we have already onboarded.

Key Responsibilities

1. Government Liaison & Compliance

• Liaise directly with UAE government bodies (DED, Free Zone Authorities, Land Department) to execute client requests.
• Navigate bureaucratic processes to ensure company formations, visa processing, and real estate registrations are completed without errors.
• Stay updated on changing UAE regulations to ensure our internal operations remain compliant.

2. Legal Review & Documentation

• Contract Assessment: Review and assess MOAs (Memorandum of Association), SPAs (Sales Purchase Agreements), and service contracts before they are finalized.
• Drafting Proposals: Create detailed, professional proposals and Scope of Work documents for clients based on their specific legal and tax needs.
• Ensure all client documentation is filed correctly and legally sound.

3. Client Management

• Manage the relationship with onboarded clients. Ensure they feel supported after the initial sale.
• Analyze the files of current clients to identify further needs (e.g., "This client just opened a company; they now need a Will or a Golden Visa").
• Proactively propose these additional services to the client to increase their lifetime value.

4. Executive Operations

• Managing daily priorities and ensuring the backend of the business is organized.
• Coordinate high-level meetings with partners and government officials.
• Prepare reports on operational bottlenecks and client status.

What We’re Looking For

• Education: Bachelor of Laws (LL.B) or equivalent is MANDATORY. We need the ability to read a contract and understand liability, terms, and obligations.
• Languages: Native-level fluency in Spanish and English (Written & Spoken) is non-negotiable. You will be reading laws in English and explaining them to clients in Spanish.
• Residency: Must currently reside in the UAE.
• Skills:
• Legal Analysis: Ability to spot errors in contracts and government forms.
• Proactive Problem Solving: When a government portal crashes or a process changes, you find a workaround immediately.
• Professional Writing: Ability to draft complex proposals that look and sound expensive.
• Personality: You are detail-oriented, patient with bureaucracy, and commercially aware (you can spot an upselling opportunity).

What We Offer

• Technical Experience: Practical experience dealing with UAE Courts, Free Zones, and Real Estate Authorities.
• Stability: A role focused on operations and execution, not sales quotas.
• Compensation: A competitive salary plus bonuses and benefits

Job Types: Full-time, Permanent

Pay: AED6,500.00 - AED7,000.00 per month
