Senior Corporate Solicitor - Manchester
c.£80k-£100k + Significant benefits
The opportunity to shape a growing corporate offering within an international group, combining the variety of client advisory work with the commercial outlook of an in-house environment. With access to an extensive group client base, an increasingly connected referral network and senior leadership support, this role offers significant scope to build something and influence its direction.
The legal team sits within a wider business bringing together insurance, tax consultancy and specialist advisory services. A new structure is creating closer collaboration across those businesses, which means that introductions and opportunities are increasingly coming through existing group relationships. There is a substantial client base to engage with and a clear ambition to provide a more complete advisory service.
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.
You will play a central role in developing the corporate offering, working alongside colleagues to help clients navigate acquisitions, disposals, restructurings and shareholder matters. The emphasis is on understanding businesses, building lasting relationships and providing practical solutions that support their growth.
There is also scope to develop closer links with the international business and its in-house legal team, which the advisory team already supports. As the offering grows, this creates the potential for broader exposure across the group and a role that develops beyond individual transactions. Shared relationships, joint pitches and collaborative working are central to the set-up, giving you both support and the opportunity to take ownership.

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
This could suit a Senior Associate/LD, including someone with a mix of corporate and commercial experience - practice or In House background - who wants to get closer to the businesses they advise and help shape a growing service. Commercial judgement, confidence with clients and an appetite to develop the offering matter more than an existing following.
Salary will be discussed around your experience, with flexibility for the right person.
