Our client is a mid-sized US law firm with office locations across the main jurisdictions of the US, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The decision has been taken to increase English law capability in the London office across a number of strategic practice areas including Corporate which currently US focussed.
The firm currently has minimal UK Corporate capability in London. The US partners advise on US law and the need has arisen due to high work levels for an English qualified solicitor to take a leading role in the development of the corporate practice in London.
There will be deal flow referred by the firm’s other international offices including those in European and the Middle East. This will typically be Mergers & Acquisitions, Business Reorganisations and Restructurings, Private Equity, Venture Capital and Joint Ventures. For transactions where they do not currently have the necessary expertise, matters are outsourced to a mid-sized English law firm.
Candidates likely to be with a mid-larger international law firm in London with string technical ability across a broad range of transactional corporate areas including M&A, private equity, corporate structuring, JV’s etc. You will also have some of your own work and clients in terms of a partial business case but you will need capacity to handle their work as well. A team would therefore be welcome.
Rare opportunity to join a firm that is profitable with excellent potential to build a profitable practice in London and to capitalise on the opportunities and potential within their own network.
