  • Playing an active role in business development, client relationship management, and cross-selling initiatives
  • Supporting, mentoring, and helping develop junior members of the team
  • Working with a strong sense of autonomy, backed by Partner-level guidance and support

Requirements:

  • 5+ years’ PQE in corporate law, ideally with experience in mid-market deals
  • A solid foundation in transactional work and client-facing advisory roles
  • Strong commercial awareness, drafting ability, and attention to detail
  • Someone who’s collaborative, proactive, and driven to progress within a dynamic team
  • A desire to be part of a growing practice that values long-term development over short-term targets
What we offer:
  • Bonus scheme up to 20%, rewarding performance and contribution
  • Realistic billable hours target – fewer than 1200
  • Private Medical Insurance
  • 27 days’ annual leave + bank holidays
  • Electric vehicle scheme
  • Life Assurance and Pension with Scottish Widows
