Corporate Associate (2–5 PQE) – London
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a 2–5 PQE Corporate Associate to join a highly regarded international team in London, known for delivering high-impact work with a strong cross-border focus.
The team advises across a broad range of corporate matters including private M&A, venture capital, joint ventures, and equity/debt capital markets. Clients include major global corporates, financial institutions, and high-growth businesses across a variety of sectors.
This role offers the chance to step into a close-knit team environment where associates are given meaningful responsibility from the outset, working directly with partners and senior lawyers on high-value, cross-border transactions. The work is varied and intellectually stimulating – ranging from M&A deals to complex joint ventures and strategic investments.
Key Requirements:
 * UK-qualified lawyer with 2–5 years’ post-qualification experience
 * Strong academic background
 * Solid grounding in corporate law, ideally with exposure to private M&A
 * Experience at a leading international or US law firm preferred
 * Commercially astute, collaborative, and motivated to grow within a high-performing team
What Makes This Role Stand Out:
 * High level of partner access and mentorship
 * Collegial, collaborative and ambitious team culture
 * Opportunity to work closely with top-tier regulatory, finance and antitrust teams across the firm’s global network
 * Ability to take ownership of transactions and client relationships early on
