Job description

Location: Manchester (Hybrid & Flexible Working)
Sector: Corporate M&A, Venture Capital, Private Equity, Tech & Media
Top-Tier Firm | Tier 1 Legal 500 | Band 1 Chambers & Partners

Be part of something new - with the backing of the best.

An exciting opportunity to join the newly established Manchester arm of a nationally renowned corporate team, consistently ranked Tier 1 by Legal 500 and Band 1 by Chambers & Partners. This is your chance to help shape a growing Northern presence-while working alongside a team with a proven track record of excellence in corporate M&A, especially mid-sized transactions.

The Opportunity:
Join a forward-thinking, high-performing team that's nationally respected for its innovative approach-particularly in the tech, media, and entertainment sectors. The firm's expanding venture capital and private equity practice offers exposure to cutting-edge startups, founders, and investors across tech, healthcare, and financial services.

In Manchester, you'll be part of a small but growing team with access to high-quality work, autonomy on transactions, and a strong support network. It's the best of both worlds: an exciting build-out phase in a new market with the full support and credibility of an established national brand.

Work Includes:

• Mergers & Acquisitions (UK and cross-border)
• Corporate Finance (VC & PE)
• Joint Ventures
• IPOs & Secondary Listings
• General Corporate Advisory

You'll Need:

• 4-8 years' post-qualification experience in corporate law
• Practical experience in several of the following:
• VC and/or PE investment transactions
• M&A
• Drafting and negotiating SPAs
• Due diligence and disclosure
• General corporate advice
• International deals

You'll Be:

• A collaborative team player who thrives in a dynamic environment
• Comfortable running your own deals, with senior support as needed
• Keen to help shape the Manchester team's culture and client base
• Motivated to build relationships internally and externally

Why This Role?

• Join a national success story at the ground level in Manchester
• Play a key role in building a new presence with access to top-tier work
• Supportive, forward-thinking firm that values creativity and work-life balance
• Hybrid and flexible working built in from day one
• A career-defining move outside the usual corporate crowd
