The opportunity to shape a growing corporate offering within an international group, combining the variety of client advisory work with the commercial outlook of an in-house environment. With access to an extensive group client base, an increasingly connected referral network and senior leadership support, this role offers significant scope to build something and influence its direction.
The legal team sits within a wider business bringing together insurance, tax consultancy and specialist advisory services. A new structure is creating closer collaboration across those businesses, which means that introductions and opportunities are increasingly coming through existing group relationships. There is a substantial client base to engage with and a clear ambition to provide a more complete advisory service.
You will play a central role in developing the corporate offering, working alongside colleagues to help clients navigate acquisitions, disposals, restructurings and shareholder matters. The emphasis is on understanding businesses, building lasting relationships and providing practical solutions that support their growth.
There is also scope to develop closer links with the international business and its in-house legal team, which the advisory team already supports. As the offering grows, this creates the potential for broader exposure across the group and a role that develops beyond individual transactions. Shared relationships, joint pitches and collaborative working are central to the set-up, giving you both support and the opportunity to take ownership.
This could suit a Senior Associate/LD, including someone with a mix of corporate and commercial experience - practice or In House background - who wants to get closer to the businesses they advise and help shape a growing service. Commercial judgement, confidence with clients and an appetite to develop the offering matter more than an existing following.
Salary will be discussed around your experience, with flexibility for the right person.
