Associate Solicitor – Restructuring & Insolvency (Manchester)
I’m working with a well-established, internationally connected law firm with a genuinely strong reputation across restructuring, finance, disputes and real estate.
They’re growing their Manchester offering and are looking for an Associate (circa 3+ PQE) to join a busy and collaborative restructuring and insolvency team.
The work is varied, hands-on and genuinely interesting — a mix of advisory, transactional and contentious matters.
What you’ll be doing:
- Advising insolvency practitioners, lenders, directors and stakeholders across a broad range of restructuring situations
- Getting involved in distressed M&A work and business/asset sales
- Handling insolvency-related disputes (including claims involving directors’ duties and undervalue transactions)
- Running your own matters with appropriate support, while also working closely with senior lawyers on larger, more complex cases
- Building relationships with key referrers (especially in the accountancy and insolvency space)
- Contributing to client development — events, insights, networking — if that’s something you enjoy (and you’ll be supported to do it)
What they’re looking for
- Around 3+ years PQE with solid insolvency/restructuring experience (contentious, non-contentious, or both)
- Someone comfortable taking ownership of work and managing files independently
- Strong commercial awareness — not just technical ability
- A collaborative mindset and the confidence to bring ideas to the table
- Energy, curiosity and a “get it done” attitude
Why this role stands out
- You’ll get exposure to a genuinely broad mix of work
- There’s real support from partners and across offices
- You’re encouraged to build your own profile and develop your career in a way that suits you
- The firm places a big emphasis on doing things properly — from client relationships to internal culture
