Rare partner-track opportunity with a leading Corporate team
I’m working with a highly regarded law firm that is seeking a talented Senior Associate or Legal Director (8+ PQE) to join its Corporate team. This is a unique chance to step into a role with clear partner-track potential, working on high-quality M&A and corporate transactions for an impressive client base.
About You

You’ll combine strong technical skills with a commercial and pragmatic approach. Clients value this team for advice that is “down-to-earth, practical, and highly commercial,” and we’re looking for someone who can continue to deliver at that level.

The Corporate team’s core focus is on M&A and restructuring transactions, typically valued between £3m and £30m (with deals both larger and smaller). You’ll:
- Lead transactions and provide support on larger, complex projects
- Work closely with clients across sectors including owner-managed businesses and corporates
