Associate Solicitor – Restructuring & Insolvency (Manchester)

Associate Solicitor – Restructuring & Insolvency (Manchester)

I’m working with a well-established, internationally connected law firm with a genuinely strong reputation across restructuring, finance, disputes and real estate.

They’re growing their Manchester offering and are looking for an Associate (circa 3+ PQE) to join a busy and collaborative restructuring and insolvency team.

The work is varied, hands‑on and genuinely interesting — a mix of advisory, transactional and contentious matters.

What you’ll be doing

• Advising insolvency practitioners, lenders, directors and stakeholders across a broad range of restructuring situations
• Getting involved in distressed M&A work and business/asset sales
• Handling insolvency‑related disputes (including claims involving directors’ duties and undervalue transactions)
• Running your own matters with appropriate support, while also working closely with senior lawyers on larger, more complex cases
• Building relationships with key referrers (especially in the accountancy and insolvency space)
• Contributing to client development — events, insights, networking — if that’s something you enjoy (and you’ll be supported to do it)

What they’re looking for

• Around 3+ years PQE with solid insolvency/restructuring experience (contentious, non-contentious, or both)
• Someone comfortable taking ownership of work and managing files independently
• Strong commercial awareness — not just technical ability
• A collaborative mindset and the confidence to bring ideas to the table
• Energy, curiosity and a get it done attitude

Why this role stands out

• You’ll get exposure to a genuinely broad mix of work
• There’s real support from partners and across offices
• You’re encouraged to build your own profile and develop your career in a way that suits you
• The firm places a big emphasis on doing things properly — from client relationships to internal culture
