I am looking to speak with Corporate Solicitors in Manchester with 2-5 years PQE. I have a fantastic opportunity for a talented and dynamic Corporate Solicitor to work alongside corporate partners on high-profile transactions and to develop their career with a leading law firm.
The Team:
The firm's Corporate department is renowned for providing practical and expert advice on all aspects of buying, selling, structuring, and investing in businesses. The team consists of 5 partners who work closely with specialists across their other commercial teams to deliver a comprehensive service.

- Overseeing the disclosure process, responding to due diligence requests, and preparing due diligence reports.
- Drafting ancillary documents and managing deals through to exchange and completion.
- Handling post-completion matters.
- Client Interaction: Confidence in dealing directly with clients.
