Corporate Lawyer Vacancy

We continue to grow year on year and are looking for a skilled corporate lawyer to join our existing 13-person corporate team.  The team acts for a range of clients across a variety of sectors and, in the year just ended, acted on multiple transactions each with a deal value in excess of £20m.

We are looking for someone who is able to work as part of a strong team but is confident to work independently and manage their own caseload.

The role will cover all aspects of work within the Corporate team, including:

• solvent corporate group reorganisations;
• joint ventures;
• corporate governance (including shareholder agreements);
• share incentive schemes;
• banking and financing;

but with a primary focus on

• mid market M&A and corporate finance – up to £25m
• larger M&A and corporate finance – up to c£60m
• MBO, MBIs; and
• private equity, venture capital and angel funding.

The work is wide ranging and the successful candidate will be afforded the opportunity to be heavily involved in all types of work, including the most complex transactions across regional and national instructions, applying excellent legal skills and knowledge but also project management and leadership skills.

Transactions are typically partner-led, but Swinburne Maddison lawyers are given the opportunity to be involved in all transaction levels and will be responsible for their own client contacts and independent tasks and instructions, as well as supporting the partners and other team members. Lawyers will also regularly lead on their own instructions at appropriate levels with regular and consistent support from senior members of the team where needed.
