Corporate Lawyer – Thames Valley

An established and growing regional law firm is seeking to appoint a corporate Lawyer to join their team. These appointments form part of the firm’s continued expansion of its Business Team, which advises across commercial, corporate and employment matters.

This is an opportunity to join a collaborative and forward-thinking team with a strong reputation for advising owner-managed businesses, corporates and entrepreneurs on high-quality transactional and advisory work.

The Opportunity

• Mergers and acquisitions (buy and sell side)
• Management buyouts and founder exits
• Shareholders’ agreements and joint ventures

Ongoing training, structured supervision and access to experienced mentors are integral to the firm’s approach to professional development.
