Senior Corporate Solicitor/Associate/Legal Director – M&A & Private Capital Focus

An ambitious and fast-growing London corporate team is looking to make a key senior hire as part of the continued expansion of its transactional practice.

This is a particularly exciting time to join. The firm remains in growth mode in London and there is a genuine opportunity for the successful individual to become part of a team that is continuing to build profile, deepen client relationships and expand its position within the market.
