Please read the following job description thoroughly to ensure you are the right fit for this role before applying.

We are working with a highly regarded partner-led elite boutique law firm in the City, founded by lawyers from leading City, international and US firms. The firm advises sophisticated clients across corporate, commercial, disputes, regulatory and tax matters and offers a genuinely lean, collaborative environment with close partner involvement.

Due to continued growth, the firm is seeking a 3-5 PQE Corporate Associate with broad corporate experience. This is not a role for someone narrowly focused on one transactional area. Experience across M&A, severance, joint ventures, investments, development projects and general corporate advisory is sought, alongside experience in commercial matters or a genuine willingness to develop in this area.

The role

• Advising on a broad range of corporate matters, including M&A, severance, joint ventures, investments and development projects.
• Supporting and running transactions from structuring through to completion.
• Drafting and negotiating transaction documentation.
• Working closely with the partner on sophisticated domestic and cross-border matters.
• Advising clients directly and developing strong commercial relationships.
• Developing wider commercial experience alongside corporate work.
• Taking genuine ownership of matters within a small, lean team.

The successful candidate will have:

• England & Wales qualification.
• 3-5 years' PQE from a leading City, international, US or highly regarded boutique firm.
• Broad corporate experience rather than a narrow transactional specialism.
• Strong experience across M&A and general corporate work, with exposure to areas such as joint ventures, investments, severance and development projects.
• Commercial experience, or a genuine willingness to develop this.
• Excellent drafting, negotiation and communication skills.
• Ambition to progress within a growing boutique environment.

The opportunity

• Competitive Package
• Hybrid working.
• Extremely close mentorship from a senior partner.
• High-quality corporate and commercial work.
• Small, lean and collaborative team.
• Significant responsibility and client exposure.
• Excellent scope for growth, progression and promotion.
• Opportunity to develop your career within a genuinely high-calibre boutique.
