With offices in London, Oxford, Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Belfast, Dublin and Hong Kong, we are recognised by clients and industry alike as being distinct for our unique culture, market-leading practice areas, sector focused approach and for providing solutions to complex, multijurisdictional business challenges, with a pragmatic and human touch. We have two things at our core: people — both ours and our clients’— and a focus on creative, tech and innovative businesses.

Our culture is encapsulated by an ethos of bravery and kindness, guided by our values of Integrity, Clarity, Unity and Excellence (our ‘I-CUE’). We aim to provide a supportive environment for our people, clients and wider community and embrace diversity & inclusion, ensuring people are able to bring their full selves to work.
- The departmentWe currently have corporate teams across London, Wales and Northern Ireland. Through those teams, we deliver transactional advice and support of the highest quality backed up by our experts in key practice areas including data and privacy, tax, intellectual property, employment and real estate. This is borne out by our legal directory ratings, the testimony of our clients and by the fact our clients tend to stay with us.

Our experts advise on the full range of corporate services:

- Mergers and Acquisitions - share and asset sales and purchases for corporates, buyout transactions and due diligence. Our clients range from UK, European and US listed multinational organisations, through to UK and international funds, to owner-managed businesses in sectors from financial services to advertising. Our long experience acting for clients in the media and technology industries gives us an unrivalled expertise in these sectors.

- Joint ventures - contractual structures, corporate and LLP vehicles, and tax efficient structuring. Joint ventures often provide the appropriate solution and structure for a specific business venture. We help in the choice of the appropriate joint venture vehicle and deal with its tax efficient structuring and associated funding.
- General corporate advice - insolvency and corporate recovery, statutory and regulatory compliance, shareholders’ and partnerships agreements and constitutional agreements. This includes advising individuals on the best corporate vehicle for their business; keeping them up to date with recent changes in law and practice; and the right course of action to take should their business encounter financial difficulties.
- Debt - loans and security and general financial advice. We advise both borrowers and lenders on appropriate finance structures, together with providing general advice on day to day financial matters.
- Commercial tax - tax efficient structuring and reorganisations. Underpinning all of our transactional work is the support of our tax colleagues.

They also regularly advise on issues from transfer pricing to LTIPs.
- Responsibilities- The role we are looking for is in our Northern Ireland team, which focuses on M&A work, investment, corporate governance with a particular expertise in intellectual property and tech law particularly in the vibrant start-up community in NI.
