    Who we are

    We are a specialist law firm which provides corporate, funds, regulatory and tax advice. We act for emerging and institutional fund managers investing in private capital markets, venture-backed high growth companies, entrepreneurs, platform operators and angel syndicates.

    A London-based single office law firm, we work closely with international and offshore relationship firms to ensure we can assist clients with both UK and overseas ambitions.

    All members of the senior team have previously practised at City law firms and so our junior team is trained to the highest standards. Our ethos and size supports our associate lawyers in developing their own professional identity and client relationships earlier than would be expected at larger firms.

    We’re on a continued patient growth journey with a goal to become the leading law firm in our category.

    Who we are looking for

    We are looking for a full-time corporate associate with 3-6 years post-qualification experience to work closely across our practice.

    We do not expect all candidates to also have experience in funds, tax and/or regulatory matters although this is a bonus. Corporate experience (particularly in venture capital) however is essential.

    Key areas of responsibility

    Successful candidates will primarily be responsible for representing the team on private equity and venture capital transactions with specific areas of responsibility being:

    • the negotiation and drafting of term sheets, equity agreements and sale and purchase agreements
    • leading communications with clients
    • supervising legal due diligence and research
    • project management of transactions

    In addition to transactional work, we are looking for candidates who will take the initiative in business development, helping to strengthen existing relationships with key clients as well as taking ownership in establishing new client relationships.

    Ideal profile:

    We are looking for individuals with the following attributes and experience: Positive attitude, team player and not ego-driven

    • Highly analytical with exceptional attention to detail
    • Strong interpersonal skills
    • Experience of and ability to lead on transactions
    • Willingness and enthusiasm to establish and build client relationships
    • Accountable with responsible workload management
    • Previous corporate experience (at least one training seat in a corporate role completed)
    • Previously trained and/or employed by a top tier law firm
    • BA Hons 2:1 or higher university degree and awarded commendation or higher for GDL and LPC (if relevant)
    • London-based
    • Fluency in verbal and written English
