Corporate Solicitor

LC Legal is delighted to be partnering with a highly regarded national law firm with an outstanding reputation within the UK corporate market. Consistently recognised by both Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, the firm advises an impressive portfolio of domestic and international clients across a broad range of complex corporate transactions.

Due to continued growth and an exceptionally strong pipeline of work, the firm is now looking to appoint an ambitious Corporate Lawyer (Associate through to Principal Associate level) to join its thriving Leeds team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded lawyer seeking exposure to high-quality work, genuine responsibility and a clear long-term progression pathway within a collaborative and forward-thinking environment. Alongside the opportunity to work with highly respected corporate partners and recognised market leaders, the firm offers hybrid working and a very competitive remuneration and benefits package.

The opportunity

You will join a well-established and highly ranked corporate team advising a diverse client base including large corporates, owner-managed businesses, private equity houses, investors and financial institutions.

The role will involve advising on a broad range of corporate matters, including:

• UK and cross-border mergers & acquisitions
• Disposals and strategic investments
• Private equity transactions
• Corporate reorganisations and restructuring projects
• Equity capital markets matters and wider strategic corporate advisory work

While the role will have a strong focus on transactional M&A work, there will also be the opportunity to gain exposure to wider corporate and capital markets matters depending on your experience and interests.

The team works closely with colleagues across multiple practice areas and offices, offering exposure to complex, high-value and often multi-jurisdictional transactions. You will benefit from direct client contact, early responsibility and the opportunity to play a visible role in significant deals from day one.

About you

• 3–8 years’ PQE gained within a respected corporate practice
• Strong experience across general corporate and M&A transactions
• Excellent technical ability alongside strong commercial awareness
• The ability to manage multiple transactions and competing deadlines effectively
• Ability to collaborate effectively within a team, with an interest in mentoring and supervising more junior lawyers
• A proactive and commercial approach to client service and business development
