Corporate Lawyer

Corporate Lawyer 7+ PQE - Leeds A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen for a Corporate Lawyer to join a leading accountancy practice as a Senior Manager, based in Leeds. THE OPPORTUNITY As one of the best-known businesses in the world, there's a stellar client base including household name multinationals and listed groups, as well privately owned companies, high net worth individuals, start-ups, fast growth companies and inbound groups. Working alongside non-lawyers, you will have access to projects that you wouldn't see at a law firm, which gives you a deeper understanding of the business issues and the commercial context for giving advice. Typical projects you will be involved in will include private M&A transactions, corporate group reorganisations (domestic and international), joint ventures, shareholders agreements and LLP deeds, mergers and demergers, advising on returns of value to shareholders (share buybacks and other returns of capital), advising on VC and PE investment rounds and capital raisings, growth capital, pre and post-sale advice and management and wider employee incentive plans. ABOUT YOU · Qualified Solicitor with around 7 years' PQE upwards. · A solid corporate law and M&A transactional background gained in an established practice. · Enthusiastic about delving into different kinds of corporate work, rather than doing similar deals repeatedly. · Experience of intra-group corporate and business structuring work. · Clear, articulate and confident in written and verbal communication skills. · Ideally supervisory experience, or the ability to oversee juniors in the team. · Willingness to get involved in networking and business development. OTHER INFORMATION · Market-leading salary, a bonus and comprehensive benefits package. · Access to projects that you wouldn't see in a traditional law firm setting. · Renowned for a better work-life balance than private practice.
