6 months ago

Manchester, United Kingdom Addleshaw Goddard Full time

PURPOSE OF THE ROLE

The continued success of the team has led to an increase in the number and value of key mandates, and we are looking to recruit another talented member of the team to help support the future success of the practice. There is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in transaction delivery, client relationship development and the continued expansion of the team and practice, which will provide clear career progression opportunities at a pivotal stage in your career. We have nurtured an environment where ambitious and hard-working lawyers are supported to succeed enjoying high calibre work with like-minded, inspiring colleagues who care about each other and their clients. As well as our own trained lawyers, we have colleagues who have previously been in international, Magic Circle, City, national or boutique law firms, all of whom enjoy working with us.

THE Corporate TEAM

Our Manchester Corporate team comprises a highly regarded and dedicated group of transactional and commercial lawyers with diverse skill sets. The working environment is challenging, fast-paced, dynamic and provides an exciting opportunity for an ambitious and enthusiastic solicitor that feels they should be getting more out of their career; better exposure to complex issues and direct engagement with clients whilst working in a busy and collegiate atmosphere.

We are regarded as the premium team in Manchester by the local market and regularly top Mergermarket as the most active adviser locally and continue to regularly win the main regional awards including the Business Desk and Insider.

Our Manchester corporate team advises clients on all their corporate needs including:

Public markets . We have one of the leading teams for public company takeovers and last year, as a practice, we were involved in 20% of all UK takeovers. We also advise on listings, placings, rights issues and open offers on both the Main Market and AIM, advising corporate issuers and investment banks; Private company M&A (both domestic and cross-border). Our M&A clients include high profile names like Bruntwood, Co-operative Group, Dixons, JD Sports, Muller Dairies, Peel Group and Wolseley, many of whom have been clients for more than a decade, and we advise them on all aspects of their acquisition, disposal and joint venture strategies; and Private Equity. We have the largest private equity team outside of London and act for all of the 19 private equity houses with an office in Manchester together with a significant number of houses based outside the region who invest both inside and outside of the region. Corporate Real Estate. We have the market leading corporate real estate practice in the North and act for the major developers and funders in the region on the largest transactions.

We operate as one corporate team, sharing intelligence and participating in joint training. We encourage our lawyers to get a balanced work experience across all of these areas throughout their careers (and particularly in the early stages), and to develop their own areas of interest within specific work types or sectors. 

What to expect in this role

Following this track record of success, we are now looking to expand the team and are keen to engage with lawyers who have an interest or experience in M&A (Public and Private), Private Equity and/or Equity Capital Markets work.

Drafting, reviewing and negotiating transaction documents Managing and co-ordinating transactions from initial instruction through to closing, including multi-jurisdictional deals.
