You’ll be stepping into a team that’s actively growing, working alongside experienced partners on a good mix of M&A, private equity, group restructures, and general corporate advisory work.

* Advising clients on company law, structuring, and general governance matters
* Supporting more complex deals led by partners
* Mentoring junior lawyers and working closely with other teams (property, employment, commercial)

What they’re looking for:
* Around 5+ years' PQE in corporate law (flexible depending on experience)
* Solid background in M&A and general corporate work
* Someone commercially minded, approachable, and confident running transactions
* Experience supervising or mentoring junior team members is a bonus
What’s on offer:

* A competitive salary package
* Genuine opportunities for progression
