Corporate & Commercial Lawyer | 1+ PQE
Harrogate | Hybrid Working
Competitive Salary & Benefits
Haggerty Jaques is delighted to be working with one of Yorkshire’s most well-respected firms to recruit an experienced Corporate & Commercial Lawyer into its Legal 500 and Chambers UK-ranked team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer looking to do high-quality, stimulating work as part of a collaborative, down-to-earth team with a genuinely impressive national client base - all while maintaining a great work-life balance.
The Role
This role sits within a high-performing Corporate & Commercial team that is widely recognised for its expertise across North Yorkshire and beyond.
While the work has more of a focus on Corporate, the successful candidate can still expect to work on some Commercial matters.
You will work across a broad range of matters including:
- M&A transactions (acquisitions and disposals)
- Group restructurings
- Shareholder agreements
- Share option schemes
- Equity investments
- Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts
The Environment
This firm is known for its open, supportive culture and low-ego approach. You’ll be working in a fast-paced environment with the benefit of a genuinely collegiate and experienced team around you.
You’ll be encouraged to contribute ideas and take ownership of your development, with support for business development activity and internal progression. This is a firm that actively invests in its people.
What’s on Offer
- High-quality work and varied client base
- Supportive and progressive culture
- Hybrid working model
- Competitive salary and benefits package
- Real scope for development and progression
Who We’re Looking For
The team is open to considering qualified lawyers at various levels above 1 PQE. Ideally, you will have both Corporate and Commercial experience but we would still like to hear from candidates with a focus in just one of those areas but a desire to cover both.
You’ll enjoy working as part of a team, and bring a proactive, client-focused approach to your work.
Whether you’re already based near to Harrogate or considering a move, this is a fantastic opportunity to join a firm where quality of work and quality of life go hand in hand.
For more information and a confidential discussion about this opportunity, please contact Haggerty Jaques – Katie Haggerty and Amy Jaques – on 07740 662995 or 07974 131939.
Any references to PQE are provided as a guide and should not deter candidates with more or fewer years’ experience from applying. We welcome applications from individuals who can demonstrate the requisite skills and expertise for this role.
Haggerty Jaques is committed to promoting equality and diversity. We encourage applications from all qualified individuals, regardless of background.
