Corporate Solicitor / Associate – 1-3 PQE - Liverpool

CORPORATE SOLICITOR / ASSOCIATE – LIVERPOOL

Corporate Solicitor / Associate – This is a rare opportunity for a corporate M&A lawyer to join a team doing some of the best ‘core corporate’ mergers and acquisitions work outside of London. The growing team acts for a range of companies across a number of sectors including niche areas such as Sports, Media and Technology.

THE ROLE AT A GLANCE

  • Job title: Corporate Solicitor
  • Location: Liverpool
  • Salary: £35,000 - £45,000
  • Reports to: Head of Department
  • Previous experience: Ideally M&A experience gained at a respectable national or regional firm. The ideal range of experience is 1-3 PQE, though our client is prepared to look beyond this within reason.

A FANTASTIC NATIONAL (AND INTERNATIONAL) TEAM

This is a first class corporate team which has seen further growth in recent years establishing itself as a major regional player in terms of the high quality of corporate transactions on which they are instructed. Advising a range of clients including regional companies, large multi-nationals as well as growing SMEs, the team has access to the kind of work of any of the top tier firms in the North West.

What makes this particular firm different from competitors is their ability to draw international work directly into the Liverpool office. The firm sees itself as one of the dominant players in Merseyside in terms of deal value and quality of their clients.

NATURE OF CLIENT BASE

The department acts on the full range of corporate transactions including acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures as well as general advisory and corporate governance work across a range of sectors. Indeed, the range and scope of the national and international work on offer is highly impressive.

Despite the level and quality of work, lawyers within the team are guaranteed excellent exposure to clients and responsibility due to the structure of the individual teams. This allows more junior associates to work on different aspects of various deals at the same time.

CANDIDATE REQUIREMENTS

Applicants are encouraged to apply whatever their corporate background. Perhaps you feel stifled or held back at a top tier firm. Alternatively, you may have cut your teeth at a smaller, more boutique practice and already have benefitted from a considerable amount of client contact.

Provided you can demonstrate a solid background in corporate with a keen eye for detail and a sensible and commercial approach, we want to hear from you. Our client is looking for the raw materials of a great corporate lawyer, who they can develop with training and process.

ADVANCING YOUR CAREER

This is a law firm offering great clients, training and working environment. The nature of the individual teams, means that solicitors are encouraged to get involved and progress. The knowhow, guidance and mentoring on offer will ensure you benefit from the best opportunities to develop your career. The rest is up to you.
