- Opportunity to re-tool/specialise. This Firm are open to hear from general Corporate Transactional Associates who are keen to specialise in Corporate Tax, working at an international law firm and on leading mandates. Perhaps you're currently an M&A Associate who likes the pace of transactional work but is looking for a bit more - a corporate role with an incredibly complex subject matter which requires its lawyers to take an academic approach to the law and build out an advisory practice, all whilst being given all training required. Opportunities to retool like this are few and far between, particularly in the current market.
- Solid prospects for the future. This practice area is a strategic growth area for the firm and is underweight at the Senior Associate / Partnership level – this Firm are actively looking for applicants keen to join the team and make Partner, with a clear pathway to get there.
- A progressive Firm and collegiate team. Hybrid working on offer at a firm and team with a demonstrable track record of investing in training and development and nurturing talent – much of which will be provided on a 1-2-1 basis.
