Job description

We are looking for a Senior or Principal Associate to join a leading Corporate team in Birmingham, undertaking a wide spectrum of high-quality corporate work, principally M&A, PE, JE and group restructurings, working collaboratively with a team led by several partners.

As part of a national team, the Birmingham corporate practice provides comprehensive corporate legal advice with a strong emphasis on M&A and private equity transactions. The team has a cohesive, supportive culture and is highly responsive and results-driven in its approach to clients and colleagues.

Recognised as a top-tier team by the leading legal directories, it is regarded as one of the strongest corporate practices outside London. While the team handles a significant volume of high-quality regional work, the majority of its transactions are for national and international clients, many of which are multi-jurisdictional.

The team has strong sectoral and international expertise, attracting work of the highest calibre. Key sectors include advanced engineering (including aerospace and defence), health and life sciences, technology and real estate. Internationally, the team leads firm initiatives across the USA, India, Germany and Scandinavia, with team members regularly travelling to these regions.

Clients span private equity houses, listed corporates, public sector bodies, and major national and international businesses across manufacturing, FMCG, care, technology, energy and real estate.

About you:

The team is experiencing continued growth and is seeking a Senior Associate and/or Principal Associate to help deliver an exceptional client experience. In this role, you will be an integral part of dedicated client teams, building long-term trusted relationships. You will collaborate with partners and directors across a wide range of corporate matters and will be encouraged to take part in business development initiatives and further your professional development.

What's on offer:

A firm recognised as one of the best places to work in the UK, with excellent benefits including:

• A hybrid approach to office and remote working
• Generous annual leave, with the option to buy up to a week's extra annual leave
• Free private medical insurance, with the option to add family members
• Life assurance covering four times annual salary
• The chance of a three-month sabbatical every five years
• Maternity, paternity and adoption leave schemes
• A range of health and wellbeing programmes
• State-of-the-art offices in the heart of Birmingham city centre, with an onsite restaurant
• Genuine opportunities to flourish through training and personal development
