If you're currently at a firm where your progression feels stalled but you're looking for meaningful, high-quality work in a supportive and collaborative office environment, this could be the perfect next step. You'll have full autonomy in your role, working on corporate transactions ranging from £500,000 to £25 million, primarily with UK-based companies connected to the US and Europe. The Corporate and Commercial team handles a variety of work, including mergers and acquisitions, investment agreements, corporate reorganisations, and commercial contracts. Their speciality lies in assisting owner-managed businesses, with around 20% of their work involving commercial contracts of varying complexity and value. This role is about the future too.

You will ideally be around 8PQE (strong candidates from 5PQE upwards are welcome), with experience in private equity being advantageous but not essential. For a salaried partner looking for a fresh challenge, this role offers a chance to step into something truly rewarding.
