Description

Tremendous opportunity for a Corporate Partner to greatly impact the Manchester office of this global practice and to lead the Banking practice in Manchester. A team move will also be considered, due to the ambitious expansion plans of this practice.

This firm is highly regarded on a global scale and seen as an excellent full-service commercial law firm across the UK, with an established Manchester presence for over 50 years.

The Corporate team consists of 100 lawyers globally, but only a small proportion of those are Manchester-based. So, you will take a lead role in the Manchester office and help grow the headcount, as well as the presence across the Manchester market. This is a key appointment in the Manchester office, so you will have direct communication with senior management, as well as working closely with the Global Head of Corporate.

You will be part of an established team, working across a number of sectors on a diverse range of corporate matters, private company mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance, private equity, re-organisations, share buybacks, joint ventures, commercial contracts and corporate governance.

Immediate Partnership (salaried or fixed share equity) is on the table, but there is a clear pathway and scope for equity. The firm is huge on culture, training and quality of work, and this is a golden opportunity for an existing partner to join a practice looking to make an impact in Manchester.

Opportunity to tailor your benefits package plus a pension, bonus scheme and healthcare. Tremendous salary on offer that will range up to £200,000 per annum.
