Transaction-ready legal talent
Legal staffing for M&A, transactions, and due diligence
Transactions create concentrated legal work long before close and well after it. Scion Legal helps in-house legal teams, law firms, and operating companies add attorneys, paralegals, contracts professionals, and project support aligned to the transaction work in front of them.
Build capacity around the deal, not a generic job description
A transaction may call for diligence coordination, contract review, corporate housekeeping, disclosure support, closing preparation, entity work, regulatory analysis, or post-close integration. Scion Legal helps employers define the workstream and hire for the actual operating need.
Pre-close diligence
Support document collection, issue tracking, disclosure schedules, contracts review, data-room coordination, and legal research.
Signing and closing
Add organized legal capacity for closing checklists, approvals, signature packages, entity records, and stakeholder coordination.
Post-close integration
Extend the team for contracts migration, policy alignment, employment integration, intellectual property, and ongoing legal operations.
Roles commonly requested
M&A attorneys, corporate counsel, transaction paralegals, contracts managers, legal operations professionals, document-review attorneys, and legal project support.
Flexible support for deal volume that changes quickly
Temporary staffing can address a defined workstream or peak. Direct-hire recruiting can add lasting capability after the deal. For a permanent Chief legal mandate, Scion Retained Search offers a dedicated executive-search route.
