The role
This role is ideal for a Corporate solicitor with 4-7 years’ (PQE), possessing a solid grounding across a broad range of corporate matters. A high level of technical ability is essential, along with proven experience in building and maintaining strong client relationships, particularly with fast-paced and demanding clients. Around 30% of the M&A work is cross-border, so international experience is advantageous. Strong negotiation skills and commercial awareness are also important.
The role involves managing an individual caseload while also working closely with the Partner in Charge on various transactions. The successful candidate must be flexible and capable of handling multiple competing deadlines, often outside of standard working hours. A keen eye for detail and the ability to carry out fee-earning work accurately and reliably, in line with the firm’s quality and risk management procedures, are vital. Accurate billing and time recording in accordance with set targets, except in exceptional circumstances, is also required.
Beyond client work, the position includes involvement in business development and marketing activities. The ideal candidate will be proactive in generating new work from existing clients, seeking out new opportunities, and helping to promote the firm both professionally and personally. Maintaining up-to-date IT skills relevant to modern legal practice, demonstrating proficiency in administrative tasks, and being willing to travel to other offices or client sites when necessary, are also key aspects of the role.
