The firm:
My client is a leading full-service Legal 500-ranked firm with several offices across the Thames Valley and Surrey. One of the most well-respected law firms in the region, my client has been offering outstanding legal solutions to its clients for over 100 years and in recent years has grown into new offices in Reading and North Surrey. Many of the departments are recommended in legal directories such as Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.
The team:
The expanding corporate and commercial department offers a full range of services to its clients from acquisitions and disposals, re-organizations, shareholder agreements, share options, general corporate advisory and governance as well as more general commercial services such as commercial contracts, intellectual property issues, GDPR and outsourcing arrangements.
The client base is very diverse, and you can expect to engage with small start-ups to PLCs and large corporates. The team consists of one full-time partner and two junior associates as well as a trainee, paralegal and full secretarial support. This is a very collegiate business with many solicitors also capable of cross-skilling when business needs require.
The role:
Make no mistake, this is a key hire for my client. Not only will you work directly with the partner on all high-profile and high-value transactions, but you will also benefit from an opportunity to express yourself through marketing and business development. You will support and guide the more junior members of the team and as the most senior associate in the team, you will be well-positioned to take advantage of future promotion opportunities as the firm continues to grow.
What do you need:
1. A qualified solicitor of England and Wales
2. At least two years’ experience or good training in handling some corporate and/or commercial matters ideally at a full-service law firm
3. A ‘can do’ attitude and a willingness to shoulder responsibility
4. A good team player
5. A great communicator with both internal and external stakeholders
6. Maintain a ‘client focus’ at all times
In return, you can expect to receive excellent quality work, investment in your future as a solicitor and competitive remuneration which includes added benefits such as pensions and bonuses. My client offers great benefits, flexible working, remote working and they maintain a ‘family friendly’ ethos, but for me, the biggest draw to this vacancy is the position it offers you within the team and the wider firm.
