· Group reorganisations and balance sheet engineering
· Private funds and joint ventures

· Commercial insight and client-facing experience
· Experience in private equity or fund structuring (a plus, not essential)
· A collaborative mindset, and interest in mentoring and sharing knowledge
· Enthusiasm for contributing to team initiatives, training, and business development

What's In It for You?
· A clear, supported pathway to Legal Director and Partnership
· The chance to work on market-shaping deals with prestigious clients
· A culture that prioritises collaboration, flexibility, and growth
· National and cross-border exposure, with high levels of autonomy
· Benefits include:
