Corporate Solicitor (1+ PQE) | Leading International Law Firm | Newcastle

This Top 50 international firm collaborates with some of the country's most affluent HNW and UHNW individuals and is looking to expand in line with its strategic growth plans.

About the Firm

This prestigious international law firm has experienced impressive growth throughout 2020, with a 10% year-on-year increase in headcount and ambitious plans for continued expansion. This is an exciting time to join a dynamic team where opportunities for progression are plentiful.

Renowned for working with an exceptional range of clients-from high-net-worth individuals to multinational corporations-the firm offers exposure to complex, high-value work that rivals top-tier firms across the North.

Culture is at the heart of the firm's success. You'll be part of a supportive, close-knit team that values collaboration and regularly organises social events. Their strong team ethos and quality of work contribute to one of the highest retention rates in the industry, with lawyers staying on average over five years, compared to the typical 2-3 years elsewhere.

The Role

We are seeking an Associate to join the firm's thriving Corporate team in Newcastle. This role presents an outstanding opportunity for rapid career advancement within a team known for its growth and success.

Your focus will be on transactional corporate matters, including mergers and acquisitions, private equity and venture capital. You'll also engage in non-transactional projects like corporate restructurings, reorganisations, and share incentive plans. Additionally, there are opportunities to work with publicly listed clients, adding valuable breadth to your experience.

This role is ideal for an ambitious solicitor eager to advance within one of the North's premier corporate teams. As the team continues to grow, you'll benefit from excellent prospects for development and progression.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive salary aligned with market rates, reflective of experience
  • Comprehensive benefits package and performance-based bonus scheme
  • Strong career development pathways
  • Excellent work/life balance

Requirements:

  • Qualified Corporate Solicitor (1+ PQE)
