    PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

  • The continued success of the team has led to an increase in the number and value of key mandates, and we are looking to recruit another talented member of the team to help support the future success of the practice.
  • There is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in transaction delivery, client relationship development and the continued expansion of the team and practice, which will provide clear career progression opportunities at a pivotal stage in your career.
  • We have nurtured an environment where ambitious and hard-working lawyers are supported to succeed enjoying high calibre work with like-minded, inspiring colleagues who care about each other and their clients.
  • As well as our own trained lawyers, we have colleagues who have previously been in international, Magic Circle, City, national or boutique law firms, all of whom enjoy working with us.
  • THE Corporate TEAM

    Our Leeds Corporate team comprises a highly regarded and dedicated group of transactional and commercial lawyers with diverse skill sets. The working environment is challenging, fast-paced and dynamic and would provide an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and enthusiastic solicitor that feels they should be getting more out of their career, better exposure to complex issues and direct engagement with clients whilst working in a busy and collegiate atmosphere.

    Our corporate team advises clients on all their corporate needs including:

  • Public company takeovers . We have one of the leading team's in the City for public company takeovers and last year we were involved in 20% of all UK takeovers. There are three former secretaries to the Takeover Panel in our team and we provide advice to the Panel on Code related matters giving us unrivalled expertise in this high profile work;
  • Private company M&A (both domestic and cross-border). Our M&A clients include high profile names like ABF, Barclays, BAT, bp, Britvic, Diageo, HSBC, Entain, JD Sports, Lloyds Banking Group and NatWest, many of whom have been clients for more than a decade, and we advise them on all aspects of their acquisition, disposal and joint venture strategies;
  • Equity capital markets. This includes advice on listings, placings, rights issues and open offers on both the Main Market and AIM, advising corporate issuers and investment banks; and
  • Corporate governance , reporting and group reorganisations. This includes all aspects of corporate governance (whether to the boards of listed companies or in complex joint venture situations), corporate reporting and all aspects of group reorganisations whether to restructure operations, release dividend blocks or prepare groups for sale.
  • Our corporate team work alongside our market leading private equity team who advise on all aspects of investment work from initial investment deployment to bolt-on acquisitions, through to exit. The two teams share intelligence and participate in joint training. We encourage our lawyers to get a balanced work experience across all of these areas throughout their careers, and to develop their own areas of interest within specific work types or sectors.
