A strong opportunity has arisen for an experienced Corporate lawyer to join a well-established and highly regarded team in Guildford. The firm has built a credible position in the market, combining sophisticated corporate work with a collaborative culture and a clear commitment to developing lawyers over the longer term.
The Corporate team advises on a broad range of transactions, with particular strength across M&A, venture capital and spin-out work, alongside ongoing company law and strategic corporate advice. The successful lawyer will take a leading role on transactions from start to finish, including drafting and negotiating transaction documents, managing deal processes and working closely with clients, counterparties and other advisers.
At Senior Associate level, this is more than a purely transactional role. There is genuine scope to build a profile within the practice, develop client relationships and play an active part in business development, with good visibility across the wider firm and support from the partnership. You will also have the opportunity to supervise and develop more junior lawyers within the team.
The firm is looking for a solicitor with around 6+ years' PQE and a solid grounding in corporate work gained within private practice. You are likely to be comfortable running transactions with a good degree of autonomy, while still valuing the benefits of working as part of a supportive and experienced team. Previous involvement in business development would be useful, although the emphasis is equally on finding someone with the appetite to develop this side of their practice.
This should particularly suit a Corporate lawyer looking for high-quality work and meaningful progression without necessarily needing to pursue their career in London. The combination of transactional responsibility, partner support and the opportunity to develop a broader practice makes it an attractive proposition for someone thinking carefully about their next step towards partnership.
The firm operates a hybrid working model, with the ability to work remotely for up to 50% of the time.
Please note that where a level of preferred experience or qualification is indicated, this is a guideline only and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience.
