Job Description

This is a rare opportunity to join one of the country's top legal practices at a particularly exciting time in its development. The firm continues to grow at a healthy rate and has maintained profitable levels of instructions to the corporate team necessitating in the recruitment of additional fee-earners at a range of levels.

This particular requirement offers an ambitious and technically excellent lawyer the chance to work alongside two partners on a range of commercial and corporate matters. It is anticipated that the role will be virtually split 50/50, perhaps with a slight leaning towards the commercial side, and that the successful applicant will be keen to handle matters on behalf of a blue chip client base in relation to both disciplines.

Due to the calibre of the practice's clients and the service levels which the firm delivers it is therefore expected that you will be a City-trained lawyer or have worked with a leading national firm, and be used to working on high value matters. You should be comfortable working on mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures and private equity deals and equally be capable of working on the related commercial contracts which may include outsourcing and IP matters, procurement and supply contracts. Due to the scope of the role and level of supervision available it is expected that you will be circa 1-3 years PQE although applications from candidates at all levels of qualification will be considered.

This does represent a superb opening for a solicitor looking to handle City-quality work in a non-City location, with exposure to top quality work from day one. To attract the best talent available the firm offers an attractive remuneration package which will be negotiable dependant upon the successful applicant's proven ability within the corporate and commercial fields.

There are literally hundreds of recruiters out there all claiming to be the best - at VG CHARLES &CO we make some fairly simple and straightforward claims. We NEVER lose sight of the fact that our candidates and clients are people and not commodities. We are in recruitment because we want to improve lives not just change them for the sake of it. We are here for the long haul and hope to be able to advise you not just over months but over years.

We are staffed by lawyers and non lawyers alike all sharing our passion to get things right and all having gone through rigorous training and development to ensure we are always able to help and offer pragmatic and non patronising advice. We are happy to talk even when there is absolutely no chance of a fee as we think that is the right thing to do.

In these difficult times it is imperative that organisations like ours are prepared to put themselves out to help people with their careers - the development of which does not stop just because the economy may be "difficult!" We aim to give all of our candidates an edge by giving them every legitimate help that we can - to ensure that in the current competitive environment our candidates are the best prepared and researched.

Despite only being established in early 2009, we are proud to have staff with a wealth of experience in top end legal recruitment which helped countless candidates through the recession of the early 90's. All of them genuinely give a damn about the people they represent.
