Corporate Associate (2-4 PQE)

at  Addleshaw Goddard

THE CORPORATE TEAM

Our corporate team is trusted to deliver some of the best deals in the market by some of the biggest UK and international companies and investors. Our team is Tier 1 rated in the Legal Directories for upper mid-market deals and a recognised leader in our chosen sectors (financial services, retail & consumer, real estate, energy & infrastructure, healthcare, gaming & tech, industrials and advanced manufacturing and sport) delivering more than 200 deals a year in over 40 different jurisdictions.

Our corporate team advises clients on all their corporate needs including:

• Public company takeovers. We have one of the leading teams in the City for public company takeovers and last year we were involved in 30% of all UK takeovers. There are three former secretaries to the Takeover Panel in our team and we provide advice to the Panel on Code related matters giving us unrivalled expertise in this high profile work;
• Private company M&A (both domestic and cross-border). Our M&A clients include high profile names like ABF, Barclays, BAT, bp, Britvic, Coventry Building Society, Diageo, HSBC, Entain, JD Sports, Lloyds Banking Group, Nationwide, NatWest and Yum!, many of whom have been clients for more than a decade, and we advise them on all aspects of their acquisition, disposal and joint venture strategies. We are currently adviser to over 50% of the FTSE100 delivering transformational deals for them across all our chosen sectors.
• Equity capital markets. This includes advice on listings, placings, rights issues and open offers on both the Main Market and AIM, advising corporate issuers and investment banks; and
• Corporate governance, reporting and group reorganisations. This includes all aspects of corporate governance (whether to the boards of listed companies or in complex joint venture situations), corporate reporting and all aspects of group reorganisations whether to restructure operations, release dividend blocks or prepare groups for sale.

Our corporate team sits alongside our market leading private equity team who advise on all aspects of investment work from initial investment deployment to bolt-on acquisitions, through to exit. The two teams sit together, share intelligence and participate in joint training. We encourage our lawyers to get a balanced work experience across all of these areas throughout their careers (and particularly in the early stages), and to develop their own areas of interest within specific work types or sectors.

• This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in working closely with our UK and International Partners on client relationship development and the continued expansion of the team and practice, which will provide clear career progression opportunities at a pivotal stage in your career.
