Job Description:

I am exclusively instructed by this award-winning national practice with an outstanding Leeds office, highly regarded for its entrepreneurial spirit and collegiate environment. As a result of a need for succession planning, the Corporate team requires a new, high-profile senior corporate lawyer and seeks an impressive Legal Director (or a lawyer at a similar level) looking for the right opportunity for a Partner title. On this rare occasion, provided an individual can demonstrate the requisite experience in client involvement and deal size, no following is needed.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a high-profile team, working alongside existing Partners known for their reputation and expertise. The team specializes in all aspects of corporate work including mergers and acquisitions (institutional clients and large corporates, as well as smaller SMEs), disposals, MBOs, investments and private equity transactions (acting on behalf of institutional investors, founder shareholders, management teams, etc.), joint ventures, and corporate governance.

If you are currently at an international or well-regarded national practice, this could be the opportunity for you. The role offers a generous financial package and a clear route to partnership.
