We are working with a highly regarded partner-led elite boutique law firm in the City, founded by lawyers from leading City, international and US firms. The firm advises sophisticated clients across corporate, commercial, disputes, regulatory and tax matters and offers a genuinely lean, collaborative environment with close partner involvement.
Due to continued growth, the firm is seeking a 3-5 PQE Corporate Associate with broad corporate experience. This is not a role for someone narrowly focused on one transactional area. Experience across M&A, severance, joint ventures, investments, development projects and general corporate advisory is sought, alongside experience in commercial matters or a genuine willingness to develop in this area.
