Senior Associate
Corporate
Surrey
6+ PQE
I'm currently working with a highly regarded UK and international law firm that is looking to appoint a Senior Associate (6+ PQE) to its established Corporate team in the Surrey area.
This is a particularly strong opportunity for a corporate lawyer who enjoys working with high-growth businesses, founders, investors, and innovative companies.
The team has a strong track record across M&A, venture capital, private company fundraising, spin-outs, and wider corporate advisory work, with notable expertise in the technology and life sciences sectors and in supporting businesses from early-stage investment through to exit.
The successful candidate will take a leading role on transactions, including:
- Drafting and negotiating key transaction documents
- Managing deals from instruction through to completion
- Advising clients on ongoing company law and governance matters
- Working closely with clients, investors, and other advisers
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 will also be the opportunity to supervise junior lawyers and play an active role in the team's business development initiatives.
One of the real attractions of this position is the level of visibility and responsibility available. The successful candidate will work closely with the partnership, have direct client exposure, and be encouraged to develop their own profile and relationships as they progress towards the next stage of their career.
The wider firm combines a substantial UK presence with an international footprint across Europe and Asia, while its Surrey office forms an important part of its South East offering.
I'm particularly interested in speaking with lawyers who have:
