Your work is likely to include:

• Drafting and negotiating Share Purchase Agreements (SPAs).
• Advising on share acquisitions and disposals.
• Supporting business sales and purchases.
• Assisting with asset purchase transactions.
• Drafting and reviewing ancillary transaction documentation.
• Supporting due diligence processes and managing transaction progress.
• Advising shareholders and business owners on corporate matters.
• Working alongside colleagues across the wider professional services business.

You'll also have the opportunity to:

• Take ownership of transactions and manage matters through to completion.
• Develop strong relationships with existing business clients.
• Work directly with business owners and decision-makers.
• Gain exposure to a broad range of businesses and commercial transactions.
• Develop your own professional network and client relationships.
• Contribute to the continued development of the Corporate practice.
• Progress your career as the team and wider business grows.

• Strong drafting, negotiation and communication skills.
• A commercially minded approach to advising business clients.
• The confidence to build relationships with clients and business owners.
• An interest in developing your technical expertise and contributing to a growing practice.

You'll be someone who enjoys taking responsibility for their work, values client relationships and wants to develop their career within a collaborative and commercially focused environment.
