Corporate Lawyer (M&A Focus) – Flexible Location

A fast-growing and innovative organisation is seeking a Corporate Lawyer (3–7 PQE) to join its high-performing team. With a strong presence internationally, and now growing in the UK (with offices in Manchester and London), this award-winning firm has a fresh approach to legal work through cutting-edge technology, a unique model, and a collaborative approach that empowers clients and lawyers alike.

Offering a wide variety of corporate work, a balanced work pattern and opportunity to act closely with a range of clients – this position is away from the formalities of a traditional law firm and would appeal to someone looking to be empowered to work in a relatively self-sufficient manner.

The Role
This is an exciting opportunity to work in a dynamic environment, supporting a diverse client base on a range of corporate transactions. The successful candidate will focus on M&A, capital raising and general corporate matters, including:

Business sales and acquisitions
Shareholder agreements
Equity and debt funding rounds
Share buy-backs and corporate restructures
Business structuring, loans, and governance

You'll work closely with clients and provide commercially sound advice, being open to a range of work in an environment where no one day is the same.

Key Requirements

3–7 years’ PQE in corporate work at a reputable firm
Strong experience in M&A, with capital raising a bonus
Proven ability to manage workflows and client relationships
Excellent attention to detail and communication skills
Commercially minded, client-focused, and adaptable
Based in or willing to travel occasionally to Manchester; remote/hybrid options available

What’s on Offer

Fast-paced, innovative culture with strong support and development opportunities
Cross-border collaboration with high-calibre professionals
25 days holiday, plus additional paid leave benefits
Private health insurance (post-probation)
Annual learning & development allowance
Regular team socials and a vibrant, inclusive culture

If you’re looking to take the next step in your career with a modern legal business that values innovation and collaboration, this is an exceptional opportunity.
