Corporate Legal Director

We are excited to announce a new opportunity to join our highly regarded Corporate team. To be considered you will currently be a Corporate Legal Director looking for their next challenge or potentially an experienced Senior Associate already operating at a more senior level.

The role

You will be expected to manage your own caseload and client relationships and be able to deliver high value and complex matters with limited, if any, partner input. There will be scope to work with a wide-ranging client base including OMBs, large corporates and PLCs, primarily in the UK but with some international scope.

At Clarion we value building long-term relationships with clients and you will be given the time to build these connections, as well as opportunities to actively contribute to business development. Our focus on collaboration sets us apart and you will work closely with other teams within the firm on a regular basis to share opportunities, knowledge, and best practice.

What we are looking for

We are considering applications from experienced senior lawyers who want to be part of an ambitious, growing team. You will be a technical specialist, adept and experienced at working across a wide range of corporate matters including M&A, private equity investments, buyouts, joint ventures, reorganisations and corporate governance.

As a Legal Director, you will also need to demonstrate your experience of supervising and supporting the development of junior team members as well as contributing to team projects. Ideally you would also engage in some networking and business development activity.

To enjoy working at Clarion and thrive in the firm you will need to be motivated, a team player, commercially minded, calm under pressure and be able to work equally well autonomously and collaboratively.

The role is based in Leeds with an agile working policy with ability to work from home up to 2 days per week.

The team

Clarion’s Corporate team have been the most active dealmakers for the last 5 years with deals in excess of £100m. They work with businesses at all stages and are highly skilled at helping companies through the various growing pains and challenges that arise at different stages of growth.
