Full job description

We are recruiting an office-based Corporate Associate in Brighton. Reporting to senior partners and the team lead, you will manage a varied transactional caseload, provide commercially focused advice, and ensure matters progress efficiently in line with firm and regulatory requirements.

In a client-focused environment, you will handle client communications, draft and negotiate documents, support junior colleagues, and liaise with third parties to deliver successful outcomes.

Key responsibilities:

Manage a portfolio of corporate matters including share and asset sales and purchases, mergers, reorganisations, joint ventures, corporate governance, and company secretarial work; take ownership of files from instruction to completion under the direction of partners.
Draft, review and negotiate transaction documents such as sale and purchase agreements, share purchase agreements, shareholders’ agreements, subscription agreements, articles of association, loan agreements and ancillary documents; ensure accuracy, clarity and commercial practicality in all documentation.
Provide practical, commercial legal advice to clients across a range of sectors, explaining legal implications clearly and proposing pragmatic solutions aligned to clients’ business objectives.
Undertake legal and factual due diligence, prepare disclosure schedules, assist with vendor due diligence packs and highlight material issues to supervising solicitors; co‑ordinate responses to buyer/seller enquiries efficiently.
Liaise with clients, banks, accountants, other law firms, regulatory bodies and advisers by telephone, email and in person to drive matters forward and maintain professional client relationships.
Supervise, mentor and review the work of junior associates and paralegals on files; allocate tasks, provide constructive feedback and ensure work is completed to the firm’s standards.
Support completion and post-completion processes including completion accounts, escrow arrangements, filings at Companies House, share transfers and update of statutory records; ensure deadlines and procedural requirements are met.
Maintain accurate file records using the case management and document management systems; open and close files in line with firm procedures and keep comprehensive file notes and documentation.
Support billing and business development activities by recording time and disbursements promptly and accurately, preparing fee estimates, assisting with fee notes and contributing to pitches, proposals and client care initiatives.
Comply with professional and firm regulatory obligations including client identification, anti‑money laundering checks, confidentiality and data protection requirements; escalate compliance issues to line management when necessary.

Key skills and experience:

Qualified solicitor (or equivalent) with 5 years+ post‑qualification experience in corporate law within a law firm or in‑house legal team, with experience of supporting and leading transactional matters.
Proven experience drafting and negotiating a wide range of corporate and commercial documents and conducting due diligence on transactional matters.
Strong commercial awareness, excellent legal judgement and the ability to provide clear, pragmatic advice to clients across different sectors.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a high attention to detail and accuracy when preparing client documentation and correspondence.
Confident user of case management systems, electronic document management and Microsoft Office applications (Word, Outlook, Excel); experience with document automation tools desirable.
Well organised with the ability to prioritise competing demands, manage deadlines and supervise junior team members while maintaining a client‑focused approach.
Good numeracy and an understanding of commercial and financial aspects of transactions, including basic knowledge of tax or accounting considerations relevant to corporate deals.
Awareness of confidentiality, data protection, regulatory and anti‑money laundering requirements relevant to corporate practice and the competency to follow firm compliance procedures.
Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to build relationships internally and externally and to work collaboratively within a team.
