Job Description
Corporate / Commercial Lawyer | 2 – 6 PQEn Leeds or Newcastle | Hybrid Working | Full Timen Competitive Salary & Benefits Package
n
Corporate work – but perhaps not as you know it
n
We’re working with a leading national law firm on a slightly different opportunity for a corporate or corporate/commercial lawyer to join its specialist Primary Care team.
n
The team advises GP practices and other primary care organisations across the country, alongside clients in areas including dental and pharmacy.
n
It’s a particularly interesting time in the sector. GP practices are increasingly coming together and moving from smaller independent models towards larger regional organisations, creating a growing amount of restructuring, consolidation and M&A-type work, alongside the broader commercial advice these businesses need.
n
What does the role involve?
n
You’ll advise primary care clients on a broad range of corporate and commercial matters, including restructuring and transactional work, and will have plenty of direct client contact.
n
You don’t necessarily need previous healthcare experience.
n
They would be very interested in speaking to a corporate lawyer looking for something a little different, or somebody from a smaller or regional firm who has developed a broader corporate/commercial practice and is used to running their own caseload.
n
A different kind of corporate role
n
One of the real attractions of this opportunity is that you can continue doing interesting corporate work without necessarily having the lifestyle that traditionally comes with it.
n
The transactions are important to the clients involved, but they generally don’t have the same highly pressurised timetables as traditional corporate M&A.
n
There can occasionally be early evening meetings because GPs understandably need to fit these around their practice hours, but you’re unlikely to find yourself trying to complete a deal at 12.30am.
n
For someone who enjoys corporate work but would like a little more balance, it could be a really interesting alternative.
n
Location
n
The team operates nationally, so there will be some travel from time to time.
n
Leeds is the preferred location, although other office locations could be considered for the right person.
n
Interested?
n
If you’re a corporate or corporate/commercial lawyer who likes the work but perhaps fancies doing it in a slightly different environment, we’d be very happy to tell you more.
n
Any references to PQE are provided purely as a guide and should not deter candidates with the relevant skills and experience from applying.
