2 weeks ago

Birmingham, United Kingdom Gowling WLG Full time

About the role and the team:

We are looking for a Senior Associate / Principal Associate to join our Corporate Birmingham team and undertake a wide spectrum of high quality corporate work – principally mergers and acquisitions, private equity, equity capital markets, joint ventures and group restructurings working collaboratively with fellow team members including the five equity partners who lead the team.

Operating as part of a 70 lawyer strong national team, the Corporate Birmingham team advises across the full spectrum of corporate advice with a primary focus on M&A and private equity. The team is cohesive, supportive and both with clients and team members highly responsive and focused on obtaining the best outcome. It is ranked first in its categories by both the Chambers Directory and Legal 500 and is widely acknowledged to be one of the very best corporate teams outside the City of London.

Whilst the team does more than its fair share of the best quality local work, the majority of its work is on transactions for national and international clients and much of it is multi-jurisdictional in nature.

The team has proven that it has the sectoral and international expertise to attract work of the highest quality. Key sectors for the team are advanced engineering (which includes aerospace and defence), health and life sciences, technology and real estate. 

Internationally the team leads the firm's activities in USA, India, Germany and Scandinavia with team members being regular visitors to each of those jurisdictions

Clients of the team include Coca Cola, Williams Advanced Engineering, Halfords Group, Cummins, Virgin Atlantic, TT Electronics, Rigby Group, HC One, Lloyds Development Capital, Avison Young, Midcounties Cooperative, the Nuclear Decomissioning Agency and Birmingham City Council.

About you:

The business of the team is growing and we are looking for lawyers at the Senior Associate / Principal Associate level to join us and assist us in delivering the very best client experience. 

You will work as part of client teams with the ability to develop long-term trusted relationships, you will work with all of the partners and directors across the range of corporate work-types and you will have the opportunity to develop your own business development initiatives and improve your professional skills.

What We Can Offer You:

The opportunity to work for a firm which has been recognised as one of the best places to work in the UK and has been ranked by Great Place to Work for 24 consecutive years.

Excellent benefits, including:

A hybrid approach to office and remote working. Generous annual leave, with the option to buy up to a week's extra annual leave 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.

Many of our people work flexibly in some way. If you would like to explore your own flexible working arrangements with us, we are happy to discuss this during the recruitment process.

Equal Opportunities:

Gowling WLG is committed both to promoting equality and diversity in the firm and to Equal Opportunities in employment. The firm believes in equality of opportunity regardless of race or racial group (including colour, nationality, ethnicity, national origins), religion or belief, age, disability, sexual orientation, sex, gender re-assignment and gender identity, marriage and civil partnership, and pregnancy, maternity and paternity. This also includes any incidents of perceptive or associative discrimination and harassment.

At Gowling WLG we seek to attract and retain talented people from a diverse range of backgrounds and cultures, to create an exciting and rewarding place to work. Our aim is to fulfil everyone's potential and together to achieve personal and business goals.

Any offers we make will be conditional subject to clearance by the SRA, evidence of eligibility to work in the UK and DBS clearance.
