Corporate Solicitor

A leading UK law firm is seeking a Principal Associate with at least 6 years' PQE to join their Corporate team in the Leeds office.

The firm is taking strategic steps to increase its influence on the international stage, particularly in areas like cross-border transactions, global M&A, and international client relationships.

The role:

You will work closely with senior partners, providing strategic legal solutions to clients across a wide range of sectors including technology, finance, and real estate.

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions (M&A), joint ventures, and corporate governance. You will take the lead on complex M&A transactions, advising clients on acquisitions, disposals, restructurings, and managing all stages of the deal lifecycle, from due diligence to post-deal integration.
