Corporate Associate, 2–4 PQE, £58,000–£75,000, Leading Firm, Leeds
A corporate role with a genuine breadth of work streams. At larger firms a corporate lawyer at this stage often gets locked into a single seam and stays there; here M&A forms the core, but you'd also pick up private equity, restructures and broader corporate advisory work. That's the difference between a well-rounded practice and a narrow one.

Deals typically run from £5m to £100m+, domestic and cross-border, acting for owner-managed businesses, SMEs and large corporates across a wide spread of sectors.

You'd run your own smaller matters, with supervision where it's needed, while supporting partners and legal directors on the larger transactions - real files of your own from early on rather than a permanent second-chair role.

Because the team is recruiting across three levels simultaneously, progression isn't a queue behind someone who isn't going anywhere. The structure above you is being built, not defended.

The package includes 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off, with buy and sell options, profit share, private medical cover, pension and life assurance, generous family friendly leave, and volunteer days.

This is one of the better corporate moves in Leeds right now.
