Corporate Solicitor (Associate) | Corporate / M&A | Belfast | Market-Leading Salary + Bonus + Hybrid Working

We're partnering with one of Northern Ireland's leading corporate law firms to recruit an ambitious Corporate Solicitor to join its growing Corporate & M&A team.

With a strong pipeline of high-value transactional work and an impressive client portfolio spanning entrepreneurial businesses, investors, private equity houses, technology companies and established corporates, this is an outstanding opportunity to work on some of the region's most significant corporate transactions.

What sets this opportunity apart is the firm's culture. You'll enjoy the quality of work typically associated with a large commercial practice while benefiting from direct partner access, meaningful client exposure and genuine opportunities to take ownership of transactions from an early stage.

The Opportunity

Working alongside highly regarded corporate partners, you'll advise on a broad range of sophisticated matters, including:

  • Mergers & acquisitions
  • Private equity and venture capital transactions
  • Corporate restructurings and reorganisations
  • Shareholder agreements and investments
  • Joint ventures
  • Corporate governance and commercial advisory work
  • Cross-border and multi-jurisdictional transactions

The team acts for clients across a diverse range of sectors, including technology, energy, hospitality, retail and professional services, providing exposure to complex, high-value work from the outset.

What's on Offer?

  • Market-leading salary
  • Performance bonus
  • Hybrid and flexible working
  • Exposure to premium Corporate and M&A transactions
  • Direct access to partners and clients
  • Early responsibility and genuine involvement in transactions
  • Clear and transparent career progression
  • Ongoing investment in professional development
  • Modern, collaborative and supportive culture
  • Excellent long-term career prospects

About You

We're keen to speak with qualified solicitors who:

  • Are qualified in Northern Ireland and/or England & Wales
  • Have approximately 2-6 years' PQE in Corporate or Commercial law
  • Possess strong technical and drafting skills
  • Are commercially minded and enjoy building client relationships
  • Want to work on high-quality transactions within a collaborative, ambitious team
  • Are looking for genuine career progression in a firm that recognises and rewards performance

Whether you're currently working in a regional, national or international firm and looking for greater responsibility, or you're seeking access to more complex and rewarding corporate work, this role offers an outstanding platform to develop your career.

Apply via the link below or contact Ciaran Gallagher at VANRATH for a confidential discussion.
