Senior Associate / Associate Director – Corporate
North West | Hybrid | High-Growth Firm
If you’re a Corporate Solicitor who wants more than just another role, this is one worth your attention.
At Harkaye Core Talent, we are exclusively supporting a fast-growing, Chambers-recognised firm that is building serious momentum across the North West and beyond.
Due to sustained deal flow and ambitious growth plans, they are looking to hire a Senior Associate or Associate Director into their Corporate team — someone who is ready to step up, take ownership, and accelerate their career.
Why this role stands out
This isn’t a “sit back and support” position.
You’ll be:
- Leading transactions
- Owning client relationships
- Building your own internal profile
- Working directly with highly experienced, approachable partners
It’s a genuine platform role — ideal for someone who wants to progress, not wait.
The work
You’ll be advising across a strong pipeline of high-quality transactions, including:
- M&A
- MBOs / MBIs
- Private equity
- Joint ventures
- Restructures and demergers
You’ll have the autonomy to run your own deals end-to-end, while also collaborating on more complex matters.
What they’re looking for
- 5–8 years’ PQE in Corporate
- Strong technical experience across a range of transactions
- Confidence running matters independently
- Commercial awareness and client-facing ability
- A mindset geared towards growth, progression, and business development
This will suit someone who is:
Frustrated with slow progression
Under-recognised in their current firm
Ready to step into a more visible, impactful role
What’s on offer
- Competitive, market-aligned salary
- Hybrid working
- Clear progression pathway
- High-quality work and strong deal flow
- Supportive, down-to-earth leadership team
- Modern, flexible benefits package
- A genuinely ambitious and collaborative culture
The bottom line
If you’re looking for a role where you can take control of your career, build your reputation, and be part of a firm going somewhere, this is a strong move.
