Associate – Legal & Transaction Operations
Pubblicato il 09-09-2026 - BE COME in Milano
BE-COME is a professional services firm operating at the intersection of venture capital, startups, and impact investing. We work inside real transactions — structuring, coordinating, and closing deals in private markets, where legal precision and execution discipline determine outcomes.
We are looking for an Associate who understands that transactions succeed or fail based on legal coordination, document control, and accountability — and who wants to build the operational judgment required to manage complex deal processes from first draft to final closing.

About the role
This is a legal operations and transaction coordination role inside live deals.
You will work alongside senior team members to support legal execution across venture and private market transactions — maintaining control over documentation flows, legal timelines, and closing deliverables, and ensuring that every critical step is completed accurately and on schedule.
The primary focus is legal operations: preparing, organizing, and tracking the legal documentation that underpins each transaction. The secondary focus is transaction coordination: keeping stakeholders aligned and processes moving.
You will gradually take ownership of defined workstreams with increasing autonomy as you build your understanding of how transactions work end to end.
Success in this role depends on legal precision, follow-through, and structured communication under pressure.
What you'll do
Legal Operations (primary focus)
Draft and revise minutes of Board of Directors meetings and Shareholders' meetings, starting from standard templates and evolving toward independent drafting
Review and proofread transaction documentation — shareholders' agreements (SHA), share purchase agreements (SPA), SAFE , corporate bylaws, powers of attorney — with attention to consistency, completeness, and accuracy
Support legal due diligence activities: organize and track document requests, maintain DD checklists, flag missing items and inconsistencies across documentation
Assemble and maintain closing binders and legal bibles, ensuring complete and traceable records for each transaction
Manage and track signature workflows (DocuSign, Dropbox Sign), coordinate execution across multiple counterparties, and maintain execution logs
Support post-closing activities: corporate housekeeping, filings coordination,
updating corporate books and legal archives
Assist in drafting structured summaries of legal progress and outstanding actions for internal teams and clients
Learn to use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT) to systematize and accelerate legal operations tasks
Transaction Coordination (supporting role)
Maintain transaction timelines, action lists, and responsibility matrices across investors, founders, legal counsel, and advisors
Monitor critical deadlines and escalate risks proactively before they become problems
Prepare and update deal status reports for internal teams and clients
Coordinate document flows between all parties involved in a transaction
Support closing readiness reviews and post-closing follow-up
Workflow & Process Management
Track milestones across multiple concurrent transactions without losing quality or missing deadlines
Identify process gaps and bottlenecks early and flag them clearly
Contribute to standardizing transaction workflows and improving operational reliability across deals
What we're looking for
Experience
1–3 years in one or more of the following:
Corporate law practice (law firm, in-house, notarial back office)
M&A; or venture capital legal support
Legal operations or transaction support
Project coordination in regulated or legal environments
Legal knowledge
Working familiarity with standard corporate documents: SHA, by-laws, shareholders and board of directors meeting minutes
Understanding of Italian corporate law mechanics (e.g. S.r.l. / S.p.A. governance, exit process)
Ability to review and proofread legal documents for consistency, completeness, and formal accuracy
Comfort with the structure and logic of private market transactions (due diligence, conditions precedent, closing, post-closing)
Core capabilities
Strong execution discipline — you close what you open and finish what you start
Exceptional attention to detail: errors in legal documents bother you on a personal level
Ability to manage multiple parallel workstreams without losing control or quality
Structured written communication — in Italian and in English
Reliability under deadline pressure across concurrent transactions
Comfort working within defined processes and accountability structures
Technical requirements
Excellent written Italian — legal drafting quality
Working knowledge of legal English — necessary to review and draft transaction summaries, NDAs, and standard agreements
Strong proficiency with Word, Excel, GDrive
Experience with signature platforms (DocuSign, Dropbox Sign) or willingness to learn immediately
Familiarity with digital legal archives and document management systems
Premio
Experience using AI tools to systematize legal and operational workflows
Exposure to corporate housekeeping processes
Experience coordinating multi-stakeholder legal processes
You might be a strong fit if you…
Take genuine satisfaction in getting documents right — not approximately right, but actually right
Stay calm and organized when timelines tighten and multiple deadlines converge
Notice gaps in documentation before others do
Prefer structured legal execution over improvisation
Follow through until the process is complete and the binder is closed
Get quietly frustrated when legal documents are inconsistent, incomplete, or sloppy
What we offer
6–12 month paid internship with a clear, performance-based path to a permanent role
Hands-on exposure to real venture and private market transactions from day one
Progressive ownership of legal operations workstreams
Direct mentorship from senior practitioners with 20+ years of VC and legal transaction experience
Structured environment with defined processes, clear ownership, and visible impact
High-trust, low-noise working culture — no politics, no micromanagement
Growth path
Phase 1 — Support Understand transaction mechanics, legal document structures, and internal workflows
Phase 2 — Ownership Manage defined legal operations workstreams independently across active transactions
Phase 3 — Responsibility Coordinate the legal execution of transaction processes end to end
How to apply
Send your CV and a short example of a situation where your legal precision, attention to detail, or structured coordination made a real difference — ideally in a context involving multiple stakeholders, tight deadlines, or a document-intensive process.
