30mins from Central London – Guildford, Surrey
From £50,000 to £65k+
UNIQUELY ATTRACTIVE PROPOSAL:
My client is a highly profitable, successful commercially-focused firm, universally acknowledged to offer genuine “City” quality from a regional base. Effectively, this is a thriving City firm with an enviable international client list, but without the extortionate overheads, commute or other downsides associated with a City postcode.
As a single office firm, the practice can be proud of its correspondingly unified cross-departmental approach and consistently high standards across the board. They have built City-calibre practices across virtually all areas of commercial practice so that they are able to offer comprehensive services to the multinational clients for whom they are a panel firm alongside their Magic and Silver Circle counterparts. They have also established a trusted overseas network of firms that enable them to successfully undertake all manner of large scale cross border work.
For an ambitious City lawyer that wishes to move out to enjoy a more pleasant lifestyle, but retain the best of both worlds, this is a real possibility just 30 minutes from central London in Guildford, Surrey. The firm is led by impressive, commercially-astute partners, who have fostered an amenable firm culture with a keen emphasis on high quality training and development, and strong career prospects. They do not hire prima donnas – their departments are made up of collaborative team players, predominantly stemming from top London and major City firms.
OUTSTANDING CLIENT BASE:
The firm has developed an impressive client base that would match most high profile large City firms or leading national practices. Typically they are on the panel alongside Top City and Magic Circle firms. The firm’s client roster is also sensibly diversified, including sizable owner managed businesses and SME’s, in addition to flagship household name PLC and successful multinational corporate clients, many of which are headquartered overseas.
Longstanding clients and new clients recently acquired across the US, Europe and beyond include the world’s largest online retailer, some of the best known international pharmaceutical companies, the world’s number one industrial gas company, one of the UK’s foremost energy providers, leading fast food brands and restaurant chains, a major overseas automobile manufacturer, one of the largest transnational breweries, well-known publishers, a leading travel company, a global investment management business, a prominent cinema chain operating nationwide and overseas and major participants in the construction, engineering and transport sector.
The firm has grown an excellent reputation in industries including, but not limited to, financial services, education, energy (including renewables), franchising, technology, publishing, and media
THE DEPARTMENT/ROLE
The corporate department has enjoyed a consistently strong deal flow during recent years whilst other firms have struggled. The team is led by some of the firm’s highest profile partners and key client relationship managers, and they have the requisite scale and talent to attract significant cross-border work stemming from international plc clients. Associates and senior associates at the firm assume a varied workload, comprising mergers and acquisitions, private equity and other fundraisings, corporate restructuring, company law matters, and joint ventures.
The department seeks to make a further addition to this successful team by way of a City-calibre associate with a minimum of one year’s post qualified experience, and potentially the equivalent of up to 4 pqe or more. Applicants of all levels of experience will be considered on merit.
