Job description

Corporate Associate / Senior Associate - Street, Somerset

A well-established firm in Somerset is looking to appoint a Corporate Associate or Senior Associate to join its growing team in Street.

This is a role for a lawyer who enjoys the variety and pace of corporate work - advising owner-managed businesses, SMEs, partnerships and entrepreneurs on everything from business sales and acquisitions to shareholder agreements, restructures, refinancing, and a broad range of commercial contracts.

You'll work closely with colleagues across commercial property, employment and private client to deliver a joined-up service to clients. There's plenty of scope to take the lead on transactions and help shape ongoing client relationships, while being part of a supportive and well-connected team.
While some flexibility is offered, this role is primarily based in the Street office to support collaboration and client service.

You'll be involved in:

• Handling share and asset sales and purchases
• Drafting shareholder, partnership and joint venture agreements
• Advising on company restructures, refinancing, and constitutional changes
• Drafting terms and conditions, agency and franchise agreements
• Supporting secured lending and company secretarial work
• Managing transactions from instruction to post-completion
• Developing client relationships and contributing to team growth

Who this will suit:

• A corporate lawyer with 3+ years' PQE and strong technical grounding
• Someone confident running transactions, but who also values being part of a close-knit team
• A lawyer who enjoys working directly with business owners and helping to shape their long-term plans
