Overview
RETRAIN INTO CHARITIES FROM CORPORATE, BANKING OR RESTRUCTURING. My client has a market leading practice focused on charities, social enterprises, non-profit and purpose driven clients. Serving this sector nationally this firm has a stellar reputation, but a unique market position and culture which should appeal to anyone looking for top level expertise but without the big corporate brand mentality.
Several of their charities specialist lawyers have come from transactional law backgrounds in big firms, and a skills set in corporate or banking or restructuring is an appropriate base from which to redirect your expertise into acting for clients who have a different set of priorities. This is a different way to use the skills you've developed to date, in a well run firm which is massively respected and frequently referred matters from the biggest corporate practises.
Responsibilities
* Work a broad mix of transactional matters including asset and share sales and purchases, partnership agreements, incorporations, restructurings, and articles of association.
* Advise on corporate governance and directors duties.
* Utilise knowledge of corporate insolvency, financial services regulatory, or debt finance where relevant; understanding of various legal structures (LLPs, CBSs, CICs, Co-operatives, and Partnerships) will be advantageous.
* Develop Trusts Law knowledge over time.
* Collaborate with colleagues to deliver a high-quality service and build long-term client relationships.
Qualifications
* More junior level c1-5yrs PQE would be a useful appointment; consideration may be given to an NQ on merit.
* Genuine interest in a career as a charities law specialist; open to conversations with people who are genuinely interested in this direction.
* Suitability as a team player with an interest in colleagues’ wellbeing within a cohesive team.
* Willingness to grow technically and embrace a new direction; ambition is valued but ego is not.
* Flexibility for hybrid working; the firm supports flexibility for all staff.
* Part-time working is possible in this role, given the nature of the work and work-life balance considerations.
You'll be given responsibility and exposure, but also support. The firm is very committed to flexibility for all staff including hybrid working.
Anyone feeling disillusioned with big law should find this opportunity to be a breath of fresh air. A fabulous opportunity – reach out for a confidential conversation.
Additional Information
Brooke Thornham Consulting advertisements use PQE levels purely as a guide to the level of experience required for the role and this does not prohibit applications from candidates who are able to demonstrate the necessary skills and experience. We aim to respond to enquiries as soon as possible but if we have not contacted you within 5 days then unfortunately on this occasion your application has not quite met the requirements of our client closely enough.
