Company: Rutherford
Apply for the Associate Attorney, Corporate – M&A/PE: Leading International Law Firm (2-5 PQE)
Location: London
Job Description:

I’m working with a leading international law firm looking to add a Corporate Associate to its London team.

The practice advises on a broad mix of high-quality UK and cross-border corporate transactions, offering associates exposure to sophisticated international work within a collaborative and well-established team.

The work will include:

  • Private M&A, including acquisitions, disposals and strategic investments
  • Public M&A and wider listed company matters
  • Private equity and growth capital transactions
  • Joint ventures, restructurings and general corporate advisory
  • Cross-border transactions involving international clients and offices

The Opportunity

The role offers the chance to join a highly international corporate practice, working closely with partners and colleagues across a global platform on complex, often multi-jurisdictional transactions.

Associates benefit from a broad corporate workload rather than being pushed into a narrow specialism, alongside strong client contact, meaningful responsibility on transactions and clear scope to continue developing at the mid-level.

Candidate Requirements

  • 3-5 years’ PQE within Corporate/M&A at a leading US/Magic/Silver/City Firm
  • Strong experience across private and/or public M&A
  • Comfortable working on complex, cross-border transactions
  • Strong technical, drafting and client-facing skills
