- Delivering training and knowledge sessions

Candidate Profile
The firm is looking for an England & Wales qualified Solicitor or Barrister with a strong Corporate background, ideally gained within a leading City, international or US law firm. Candidates should have experience across areas such as Corporate M&A, Private Equity, equity investments, JVs and transactional documentation. Existing PSL experience is welcome but not required.
