Role profile
".. seasoned industry experts, with a significant depth and breadth of experience." – Chambers & Partners
We are looking for a Paralegal to join our highly regarded and growing Corporate team in London. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-respected and market leading team, known for having an entrepreneurial outlook and approach, and work on high value and strategically important projects both nationally and internationally.
The practice
We advise at every stage of a company’s development across the full spectrum of corporate issues, partnering businesses as they expand through equity and debt fundraisings, joint ventures, acquisition and IPO. We also advise on the establishment of compliant and efficient governance structures.
We have a strong sector focus in various spheres, but in Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) it is fair to say that we are the go-to firm. We regularly advise on transactions with a deal value in excess of £100m, and have acted on many landmark deals in the space.
Along with TMT, our other key sector-focuses include Life Sciences and Healthcare and Energy and Energy Transition. These focuses enable us to understand the markets our clients operate in and the issues they are facing.
The team
The London Corporate team is led by Alistair Francis (Partner) and is made up of 19 further Partners, 2 Legal Directors, 12 Associate Directors, 9 Senior Associates, 10 Associates, 4 Trainee Solicitors/Solicitor Apprentices and up to 3 Paralegals. Spanning all three of our UK based offices, the Corporate department is made up of over 100 lawyers in total.
