This is a superb opportunity for a senior associate who is ambitious and enjoys business development looking for partnership within 6 months. Succession planning demands the appointment of a further senior lawyer and an existing caseload means that unusually a following is not required. The partnership is highly profitable and you would be looking at heading the team within a few years. An outstanding opportunity not to be missed.

The thriving department undertakes all aspects of corporate finance, acquisition and sales including management buy-outs and buy-ins and corporate reconstruction. It also advises on EU regulations and compliance issues such as employment, health and safety, competition law and e-business.

The client base stretches a range of sectors including Betting and Gaming; Intellectual Property; Leisure; Manufacturing; Retail; Construction.

You will benefit from the support of a dynamic team of lawyers and initially work closely alongside the existing head of department undertaking fee earning as well as business development initiatives so as to ensure a smooth eventual handover. You will be given every opportunity to make your mark.
