Corporate Managing Associate

This is a rare opportunity for a senior corporate solicitor who's keen to step off the standard City track and into a genuinely differentiated practice. Our client is built around the high value niche of sport, and it's given them a seat at the table on some of the largest and most complex deals of their kind. It's the sort of work that would normally sit with a much bigger platform.

In this varied role you'll be working on high quality corporate transactional work: company sales, joint ventures, growth stage investment, and high value M&A, much of it involving private capital. Deal sizes and complexity are a step up from what's typical at this level. You'll be running a genuine mix, some deals with a heavy regulatory and governance layer alongside the transaction itself, others more conventional in structure but bigger in scale.

Beyond the deal work, you'll get real breadth: advisory work on governance frameworks, helping set up new commercial structures from scratch, and regulatory matters. It's the kind of range that's hard to find in a traditional corporate practice.
