Your new firm A well-established and highly regarded regional law firm is seeking a Corporate Associate to join its growing Corporate team. Known for delivering city-quality legal advice, the firm has built a strong reputation across the South for its commercially focused, partner-led approach and long-standing client relationships. With a collaborative and people-centred culture, the firm places genuine emphasis on work-life balance, thoughtful career development and creating an environment where lawyers can do high-quality work sustainably. The firm operates across multiple offices in the region and is committed to supporting flexibility, progression and long-term careers. Your new role This is an excellent opportunity for a Corporate Associate to join a high-performing transactional Corporate team, with a primary base in Southampton and collaboration across a second regional office. The role sits firmly on the transactional side of the Corporate team and will involve working closely with partners on higher-value matters, while also taking ownership of smaller transactions independently as your experience develops. You will advise a broad and varied client base, including start-ups, SMEs, owner-managed businesses and PLCs, on a wide range of transactional corporate matters. The work will include M&A transactions, management buy-ins and increasing exposure to Employee Ownership Trusts, with the opportunity to develop experience across the full life cycle of corporate transactions. While the focus is transactional, you will be part of a wider Corporate team that also advises on governance matters, offering exposure to a well-rounded corporate practice. The role offers stability, support and clear scope for progression. You will work closely with an experienced group of partners and senior lawyers who are invested in developing associates and creating realistic, achievable career pathways. What you'll need to succeed You will be a qualified Corporate Solicitor with experience in transactional corporate work, ideally with around three to five years' post-qualification experience, though applications are welcomed from individuals with slightly less or more experience where there is a strong overall fit. Experience of M&A transactions and management buy-ins is essential, while exposure to Employee Ownership Trusts or employee share options would be advantageous but is not required.
