  • Delivering strategic legal and commercial solutions tailored to client needs
  • Collaborating closely with senior lawyers and directors on headline transactions
  • Being a member of a supportive and ambitious team committed to excellence and innovation


About you

We're looking for a commercially minded Associate with a strong foundation in corporate and commercial law, who thrives in a collaborative and client-focused environment.


In addition, you will be/have:

  • Minimum 3 years post-qualification experience in corporate and commercial law
  • Genuine transactional experience with a solid understanding of deal structures
  • Strong technical legal skills and attention to detail
  • Strong client-facing skills, with the confidence and communication ability to foster trusted relationships.
  • A team player who is proactive, motivated, honest, has high integrity and driven to deliver results


What will we offer you?

Cowell Clarke offers a broad range of financial and social benefits in addition to market leading careers and professional development programs. We're focused on developing our people's careers whilst ensuring they maintain a healthy lifestyle.


Some of our many employee benefits include broad learning & development opportunities, social clubs, sporting & team events, wellbeing and family support, e.g. discounts to gym memberships & private health insurance, paid parental leave and the option to purchase additional leave.
