Corporate Partner I Legal 500 Firm – Leeds
I'm recruiting for a Legal 500 firm with its head office in Leeds, and additional offices across Yorkshire, including Harrogate and Ilkley. So while the role is Leeds-based, there's genuine flexibility to spend time at either of the other two locations if that suits you better.
The firm is flexible and family-friendly, they're open to a 4-day week or a 9-day working fortnight, and offer hybrid working too.
The Role
You'll lead on a broad range of corporate finance work, including:
- Acquisitions and disposals of owner-managed businesses
- Sales to VC and PE-backed buyers
- Shareholder agreements, MBOs, JVs, and group reorganisations
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
There's a strong advisory element, with a loyal base of long-standing, repeat clients, predominantly owner-managed businesses. The team also acts for professional practices and healthcare clients. Currently, four Partners and eight other lawyers make up the team.
What They're Looking For
- 9+ years' PQE at Partner or Senior Legal Director level
- Strong corporate finance experience within a Yorkshire firm
- Commercial mindset and technical excellence
- An established network and proactive approach to business development
- A following or portable book of business would be a distinct advantage

Culture & Support
Culture fit is important here. Consistently rated a great place to work, with a broad gender balance at partnership level, the firm has invested heavily in marketing, IT, and people teams, so you can focus on clients and fee-earning.
Hybrid working is on offer, with three days expected in the office.
This is a genuine opportunity to shape the future of the department and your own career, working closely with the Head of Department in a supportive, growth-focused environment.
