Job Description We are looking for Senior/Principle Associates to join our Corporate Birmingham team and undertake a wide spectrum of high-quality corporate work – principally mergers and acquisitions, private equity, joint ventures and group restructurings working collaboratively with fellow team members including the five partners who lead the team. As part of a national team, the Birmingham corporate team provides comprehensive corporate legal advice, with a strong emphasis on M&A and private equity transactions. The team is known for its cohesive and supportive culture, and is highly responsive and results‑driven in its approach to both clients and colleagues. Recognised as a top‑tier team by Chambers UK and The Legal 500, it is widely regarded as one of the leading corporate practices outside the City of London. While the team handles a significant volume of high‑quality regional work, the majority of its transactions are for national and international clients, many of which are multi‑jurisdictional. The team has demonstrated strong sectoral and international expertise, attracting work of the highest calibre. Key sectors include advanced engineering (including aerospace and defence), health and life sciences, technology and real estate. Internationally, the team leads the firm’s initiatives in the USA, India, Germany, and Scandinavia, with team members regularly travelling to these regions. Clients include Lloyds Development Capital, BGF, Birmingham City Council, Coca-Cola Europacific Partners, Rigby Group, HC-One, Cummins, Midcounties Co‑operative, THG, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, Weetabix and Avison Young. About you We are experiencing continued growth and are seeking a Senior Associate and/or Principal Associate to join our team and help us deliver an exceptional client experience. In this role, you will be an integral part of dedicated client teams, building long‑term trusted relationships. You will collaborate with all partners and directors across a wide range of corporate matters and will be encouraged to take part in business development initiatives and further your professional development. What We Can Offer You * A hybrid approach to office and remote working. * Generous annual leave, with the option to buy up to a weeks extra annual leave. * Free private medical insurance, and the option to add family members. * A generous pension allowance. * Life assurance covering four times your annual salary. * The chance of a three‑month sabbatical every five years. * Maternity, paternity and adoption leave schemes. * A range of health and wellbeing programmes. * State‑of‑the‑art offices, in the heart of Birmingham City Centre, with an onsite restaurant. * Opportunities to flourish in your role through training and personal development.
