I’m working with a leading UK law firm that is looking to strengthen its London Corporate team with a Senior Associate specialising in Equity Capital Markets and Public M&A.

This UK-based legal and professional services group with a strong national presence and an extensive client base ranging from FTSE 100 businesses and major corporates through to privately owned companies and individuals. It has an entrepreneurial culture, a collaborative approach and a clear focus on continued growth and progression.

The firm has an excellent reputation for advising businesses, investors and listed companies on ECM, Public M&A and broader corporate transactions, offering lawyers the opportunity to work on high-quality matters.

The Role

The successful candidate will work on a broad range of sophisticated corporate transactions, including:

  • Equity Capital Markets transactions

  • Equity fundraisings and subscriptions
  • Rights issues and private placements
  • Share buy-backs and block trades

You’ll work closely with senior lawyers and have significant client exposure and responsibility for transactions.

About You

  • Strong ECM experience

  • Exposure to Main Market and/or AIM transactions

This is not a general private M&A/PE role candidates should have genuine ECM and/or Public M&A experience.
