New: Corporate Associate, 2-5 PQE, £64k-£70k, National Firm, Leeds
This is a role in a growing Leeds corporate team that is part of a large national corporate group. You get the working life of a close regional team, plus the deal flow and specialist support of a firm that can staff almost any transaction.
The client base is unusually broad. In the same month you could act for a spinout raising funds, a management team on a transaction, and an international business doing a UK deal. The work covers M&A, venture capital, fundraisings, corporate finance, joint ventures and shareholder arrangements, alongside general corporate advice.
At this level you run deals yourself, with partner support available rather than layers of seniority above you. You draft the key documents, keep the timetable moving, and bring in the firm’s other specialist teams when a transaction needs them. You also supervise trainees and junior colleagues.
Business development is open to you from day one. The team wants associates involved in shaping where the Leeds practice goes next.
The firm also expects its lawyers to use AI and legal technology in day-to-day deal work, so you will be building skills that a lot of competitors are still talking about.
