A leading UK law firm with a network of offices from the South Coast to Scotland, working together as one national team. An innovative practice and the first top 50 law firm to achieve “Platinum Standard” Investors in People, our values and culture are not just words on our website but are the heartbeat of the firm. The lack of barriers between departments, a real lack of hierarchy, zero tolerance for arrogance makes Shoosmiths a fantastic place to work. |
Our award winning national Corporate team, which has been ranked in the top four firms for deal volume for the past four years by Experian MarketIQ's M&A Review, is led by a team of partners widely regarded as leaders in their field who are regularly recommended by clients for their reputation, personalities and outstanding expertise.
We advise companies, management teams, investors and debt providers through the business life cycle, from start-up and first round finance through M&A, management transactions, venture and development funding, restructuring, capital reductions, private equity funding and exits.
Our Leeds team is led by James Foster and covers the full range of Corporate transactions, with a particular focus on UK domestic and cross-border M&A transactions, private equity and venture capital. |
We are looking for a driven and ambitious senior lawyer to join our similarly ambitious Corporate team. Our team has a clear growth strategy, which means that for the right candidate there is the opportunity for real career progression.
In this role you will be given the opportunity to take ownership of transactions, as well as supervise and mentor other junior members of the team. The core focus of the work will be M&A (both with a domestic and cross-border element) but you will also cover all aspects of corporate finance including private equity, venture capital, joint ventures and re-organisations.
We pride ourselves in providing the best client experience, you will therefore be encouraged to take part in a variety of client and BD activities from the outset. |
Our approach to our people is underpinned by our approach to diversity, inclusion and well being. Our ambition is to build a diverse and ambitious workforce that reflects all backgrounds and talents, and a workplace that is supportive and inclusive, recognises and nurtures talent, and has a strong sense of community between colleagues.
This means that everyone who either applies to or works for the firm is treated equally, whatever their gender, age, ethnic origin, nationality, marital status, disability, sexual orientation or religious beliefs. |
