Corporate Associate (3-6 PQE) - M&A / Takeover Code | London
Job Details
A leading City-based law firm is seeking a Corporate Associate (3-6 PQE) to join its growing M&A and equity capital markets team in London. The role combines high-end public and private M&A with UK Takeover Code advisory, supporting listed companies and international corporates on complex transactions.
You’ll work closely with a Chambers-ranked partner on public M&A, schemes of arrangement, premium listings, and cross-border corporate transactions, alongside general UK corporate governance and disclosure matters.
Key Responsibilities:
- Advise on public M&A deals governed by the UK Takeover Code
- Support cross-border M&A transactions and corporate restructurings
- Work on IPOs, secondary offerings, and LSE premium listings
- Provide ongoing advisory on UK Listing Rules and governance issues
Requirements:
- 3-6 years' PQE as a corporate associate at a top City or international law firm
- Demonstrable experience advising on UK public M&A governed by the Takeover Code is essential – whether on the bidder, target, or underwriter side
- Solid deal sheet with a mix of transactional M&A and/or ECM work
- Strong academic background and proven technical ability
Why Apply?
This is an excellent opportunity to work on complex corporate transactions in a more balanced and collaborative environment than many peer firms. The team combines technical excellence with a pragmatic and down-to-earth culture - and consistently attracts instructions from high-profile UK-listed and global clients.
If you're looking to build on your public M&A and ECM credentials while maintaining quality of work and work-life balance, this could be an ideal next step.
Apply in confidence or contact Gurp Bains on gb @dhillonbains.com directly to discuss further.
