Managing Associate (Corporate) – Edinburgh

Practice Area: business development, M&A, Corporate, Investment
Level: Associate, Full Time
Section: Law Firm
Location: Remote, Scotland, Central Belt, Edinburgh
Ref: FW9717

A UK-wide law firm is currently recruiting a Managing Associate to join its growing Corporate team in Edinburgh. This is a full-time, permanent position, offered on a hybrid basis with flexibility to discuss alternative arrangements for those based in Glasgow or further afield.

The role will involve managing a broad caseload of corporate transactions, including acquisitions and disposals, employee ownership structures, management buy-outs and buy-ins, as well as private equity and venture capital investments. The successful candidate will act as a lead adviser on matters, providing strategic guidance, handling negotiations, and overseeing the full lifecycle of transactions. The position also involves regular client contact, supervision of junior colleagues, and contributing to wider business development.

The firm is ideally seeking a solicitor with 6+ years’ PQE in corporate law and a strong track record of managing complex mid-market M&A work. Experience in employee ownership and investment work is advantageous but not essential. The team is known for its collaborative, non-hierarchical structure and works across a broad UK client base, with a growing focus on key sectors including Financial Services, Energy, Food & Drink, and Digital.

This is a key senior appointment offering high-quality work, exposure to notable clients, and a clear path to career progression. If this opportunity could be of interest, please contact Cameron or Teddie for an initial and confidential discussion. (Assignment 17473)
