Corporate Associate (3PQE+) - Cardiff/Bristol 

A top-tier Legal 500 firm in Cardiff is looking for a talented Corporate Associate (3PQE+) to join its growing team. If you’re ready to take the next step in your career and work alongside an award-winning corporate team, this could be the perfect opportunity for you. 

You’ll be advising a broad mix of clients, from exciting start-ups to major corporations, on high-value and complex transactions. Expect to get hands-on with mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, buy-outs, restructuring, and private equity/venture capital investments. You’ll be working closely with experienced partners, gaining exposure to top-quality work in a fast-paced but supportive environment. 

I'm looking to speak with solicitors with at least 3 years' PQE in a corporate team at a City or national firm. Strong communication skills, commercial awareness, and the ability to manage due diligence and disclosure processes with sound judgement are key. If you’re proactive, adaptable, and thrive under pressure, you’ll fit right in. A genuine interest in business development and growing the team is also a big plus. 

The firm is known for its forward-thinking, commercial approach and cutting-edge technology that enhances the way its lawyers work. With a strong focus on career development, financial stability, and a vibrant social culture, you’ll be part of an ambitious and supportive team that values both hard work and a great work-life balance. Plus, regular fully paid-for social events keep things fun and engaging.
