Corporate Solicitor - 2-6 Years PQE

Corporate Associate – 2–6 PQE – Surrey

Corporate Associates and Senior Associate | 2 to 7 PQE | Surrey | From £72,000 | Visa sponsorship available

**Several corporate hires, with a warm welcome for Australian, New Zealand lawyers 7 South African Lawyers**

I'm working with a highly regarded South East law firm that is growing its well-established corporate team in Surrey. There are several roles to fill, from associate through to senior associate, with salaries from £72,000.

The work

Mid-market M&A, private equity and venture capital transactions, restructurings and general corporate advisory work. Clients range from FTSE-listed groups to private equity-backed businesses and fast-growing companies. The team is busy, and associates are trusted with responsibility early, working closely with partners and with real client exposure from day one.

Who the firm would like to hear from

- UK-qualified corporate lawyers with 2 PQE or more, including more senior lawyers for the senior associate role

- Lawyers qualified in Australia or New Zealand with two to three years' post-qualification corporate experience who want to build a long-term career in the UK

- Strong corporate lawyers from other comparable common law jurisdictions, including South Africa

UK Skilled Worker visa sponsorship is available, and first-round interviews can be held by video, so the process is straightforward wherever you are based.

Why it's worth a look from Australia, New Zealand or South Africa

This is a chance to do City-quality corporate work without starting out in the City. The firm combines high-quality transactions with a better balance than many London practices, in a part of the country within easy reach of London.

A background at a City, national or leading regional firm, or a top-tier firm at home, would be ideal. What matters more is the drive to take ownership of your work and develop into a well-rounded, commercial adviser.

What's on offer

Salaries from £72,000, with excellent training, genuine partner access and a clear path to progression. The benefits package includes hybrid working, discretionary bonus, profit share, private medical insurance, pension, enhanced parental pay, travel support and a comprehensive wellbeing and lifestyle package.
