Due Diligence Transaction Lawyer - suitable for Corporate, Real Estate or Finance Solicitors
£40.8 - £47.3 per hourEstimated
Due Diligence Transaction Lawyer (suitable for corporate, real estate & finance lawyers)
Location: Manchester (Hybrid)
Salary: Competitive
We are partnering with one of the world's leading global law firms to recruit a Due Diligence Transaction Lawyer into their Manchester-based Practice Services Team, the firm's centre of excellence for due diligence on global deals.
This is not a fee-earning, client-facing role, and that is rather the point. It suits a lawyer who genuinely enjoys the technical, transactional substance of the work but wants off the fee-earner treadmill, without giving up the quality of the deals. You'd be working on live M&A, real estate and finance transactions across the firm's international office network, getting properly into the detail of the documents rather than handling clients or chasing BD.
It's an established and growing team, sitting within a substantial Manchester office.
What the role involves:
- Reviewing and analysing corporate documents, contracts, leases and licence agreements on live cross-border transactions.
- Summarising findings for the lead deal teams, flagging key provisions and red flags such as change-of-control triggers, anti-assignment and MFN clauses.
- Liaising with Associates, Counsel and Partners to provide updates and legal analysis.
- Working with virtual data room tools and some genuinely market-leading legal AI. This is a firm well ahead of the curve on the tech side.
Who it suits:
The team likes people from corporate, commercial, real estate or finance backgrounds, essentially anyone used to getting into the weeds of negotiating and reviewing contracts. You'll be a qualified solicitor (England & Wales, or a US-qualified / QLTS equivalent) with a couple of years' PQE or more. What matters most is the right mindset and an eye for detail; the rest can be learned.
Why it's worth a look:
It's a brilliant platform, the work is high quality, and the lifestyle is sensible: a manageable annual hours target, hybrid working, and a real, structured path into specialist and leadership roles as the practice keeps growing. It has worked really well for a lot of people in Manchester who wanted off the treadmill without dropping down on the quality of the work or the brand of firm.
If that resonates, even as a wildcard, I'd be glad to tell you more in confidence. Please contact Adam Zdravkovic in the In-House team at Think Legal Recruitment, or email View email address on jobs.thelawyer.com
