Corporate Partner | Manchester | Hybrid Working

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an ambitious Corporate Partner, Legal Director or Senior Associate to join a highly regarded national law firm and play a key role in the growth of its Manchester corporate practice.

Working alongside an experienced Corporate Partner and supported by a well-established local and national team, you will enjoy significant autonomy to develop your practice while benefiting from an existing client base, strong referral network and extensive internal resources.

The Opportunity

The team advises a diverse range of national and international clients on mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, equity investments, joint ventures, restructurings and general corporate advisory matters.

This opportunity is ideal for an existing Partner seeking a fresh challenge or a Senior Associate/Legal Director ready to take the next step. A client following is not essential, making this a fantastic platform for ambitious lawyers looking to build their profile and progress their career.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
