Magic Circle Firm
Moscow, Russia
Our client is a Magic Circle law firm with one of the leading Russian corporate practices in the region, and a large and thriving high profile Moscow office.
Its Russian Corporate M&A Practice is known for its dynamic approach, advising Western and Russian 'blue chip' clients on headline cross-border transactions with a focus on M&A and JV transactions. The firm's outstanding global reputation, high calibre team and diversified client base have enabled it to maintain an ongoing pipeline of high quality transactional work.
The partners on the ground in Moscow are now looking to hire an additional junior level UK/common law qualified corporate M&A associate to provide additional English law support for the busy Russian corporate practice.
Suitable candidates should meet the following criteria:
- English or Australasian law qualified at a leading City or national law firm;
- Strong academic history;
- From 1 to 4 years' experience in cross-border M&A work;
- Native English language skills required (Russian language skills not necessary).
On offer is the opportunity to further hone your skills as a UK qualified M&A lawyer in a key emerging markets setting. Involved in a wider range of transactional work as a key member of a closely-knit English law team, you will work with a higher level of responsibility, and more client exposure on a wider range of high value transactions than would be possible in a developed market setting. Great medium term career prospects, and a highly competitive expatriate compensation package will be provided, including COLA, a generous relocation package, life/private health insurance and an annual flight home, all at a flat rate income tax of 13%.
