We are looking for a dynamic and ambitious individual who wants the opportunity to flourish in an open, honest and supportive environment. We will also be looking for someone who wants to be involved in the team and to play a key part in the overall growth of the business as a whole. Salary will be competitive and dependent on experience and the nature of the role means there is significant opportunity for progression to directorship and equity interests if sensible targets can be achieved.

Their commitment to the well-being of their team is their number one priority and accordingly they have achieved level 2 accreditation for Worcestershire Works Well.

The successful candidate would directly manage a small existing team of solicitors and trainee solicitors and a key part of the role will be to develop the skills of team members.

* The lead, structuring and running a variety of M&A transactions;
* Liaison with lawyers in other practice areas to drive M&A transactions to completion;
