A highly regarded international law firm is looking to add a talented Corporate Associate (2–5 PQE) to its Birmingham team. This is a standout opportunity for a mid-level corporate lawyer looking to accelerate their career in a collaborative and well-connected team, working on headline-grabbing M&A transactions, company reorganisations, and sector-led corporate matters across technology, energy, industrials, and healthcare.
The Role:
You’ll work closely with nationally recognised partners who have deep expertise across sectors including tech M&A, energy, private equity, and healthcare. There’s a strong pipeline of work spanning domestic and cross-border transactions, regularly involving FTSE100 clients and major global corporates.
The team has an excellent track record in complex corporate transactions, with a balance of strategic M&A, joint ventures, reorganisations, and capital markets exposure. This is an ideal opportunity to build on your experience while developing client relationships and progressing within a firm that genuinely invests in its people.
Why This Firm?
* Top-tier corporate practice, ranked nationally and consistently recognised in Legal 500 and Chambers UK

* Excellent access to City-quality work without needing to be London-based
* Transparent progression pathways and mentoring from senior partners
* Commitment to flexible working, DEI and a people-first culture
* International outlook with genuine opportunities for secondments and cross-border collaboration
What We’re Looking For:
* 2–5 years' post-qualification experience in corporate law
* Strong grounding in M&A and/or corporate advisory, ideally from a City or leading national firm
* Exposure to private equity, cross-border transactions or capital markets work is advantageous but not essential
* Commercially minded, team-oriented, and confident engaging with clients
* Desire to build a long-term career in a high-performance but supportive environment
