Due Diligence Checklist Support

About this task

This corporate law firm advising employers (51–200 employees) is looking for a specialist Paralegal for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Collects and indexes documents for a transaction.

The work is too small to justify a hire and too important to leave to chance. It is a law firm; confidentiality is absolute and every file is handled under supervision.

The company prefers a person who can come to Oshawa for kickoff and the final review; the rest is remote. Evenings or weekends are fine, as long as the agreed weekly output is there.

What you deliver

• Build the diligence index for an acquisition and track 120 requested items.
• A final note stating what was checked and what was left out of scope
• A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer
• One round of edits after the company's review is included

How the work runs

• Day 1: scope confirmed in writing, files shared
• Middle of the period: draft shared for early feedback
• Last day: final version and handover note

Duration: 2 to 3 weeks. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.

Tools
