Newly Qualified Solicitor | Corporate | Leeds
A Top 100 UK law firm with a strong presence across the North is looking for a newly qualified solicitor to join its Corporate team in Leeds city centre.
You would be working on live M&A and investment work from the outset, sitting alongside partners rather than a layer removed from them. The client base runs from ambitious owner-managed businesses through to national and international groups, so the deals are varied and allows you to gain important broad experience at this stage in your career.
The work:
- Company and business sales and purchases
- Debt and equity fundraisings and investments
- Taking instructions directly and drafting the documents that follow
- Sitting in on negotiations and client meetings from early on
- Pulling in tax, property, employment and other specialists as deals require
- Client training and network building, so you start growing a following of your own

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.
What they are looking for:
- A newly qualified solicitor, with a corporate seat during training
- Sharp analytically, with the judgement to spot what matters on a deal
- Organised and methodical, comfortable juggling several matters at once
- A confident communicator, with clients and with colleagues
- Genuine enthusiasm for transactional work and the drive to build a career in it
