Re: Application: Corporate Counsel (Ref. LG-2291)

Dear Ms. Hart,

I am writing to apply for the Corporate Counsel position advertised on your careers page, reference LG-2291. I am a qualified solicitor with nine years’ post-admission experience, six of them advising boards on cross-border transactions.

My present role at Halloran Group covers the full transaction lifecycle — diligence, negotiation, and the regulatory filings that follow — for acquisitions between £20m and £180m. I work closely with finance and compliance, and I am the first point of contact for our external counsel in three jurisdictions.

I would be glad to discuss how that experience fits the needs of your corporate team. Thank you for your consideration.

  • Led legal workstream on 11 acquisitions totalling £640m in enterprise value
  • Rebuilt the contract playbook, cutting average negotiation time by three weeks
  • Advises the board and audit committee on regulatory exposure each quarter

Yours sincerely,

Daniel Whitfield

Corporate Counsel
