The Firm This is a Top 30 international firm whose reputation has been earned through the quality of its work and the strength of its people, not simply its scale. Highly ranked by both Legal 500 and Chambers across a number of practice areas, the firm combines genuine sector depth with a culture that places real value on collaboration and long term development.

Corporate Real Estate M&A - US Firm - London We are working on an exclusive basis with a highly regarded Corporate Real Estate and Real Estate Private Equity team at a leading US firm in London. The practice is actively growing and looking to make multiple hires across a broad PQE range of 2–6 years. This is a genuine expansion not a replacement search and the team is keen to move quickly on strong profiles. This is a well-established and market-recognised practice sitting at the intersection of corporate, private equity and real estate. It is not a conventional real estate team — the work is highly transactional and investment-driven, advising sponsors, institutional investors and corporates on complex UK and cross-border acquisitions, disposals, joint ventures and investment structures involving real estate assets. The practice operates closely alongside the firm's leading Corporate/M&A, Investment Funds, Finance and Tax practices both in London and across the firm's extensive international network, giving associates genuine exposure to sophisticated, multi-disciplinary mandates. The firm is known for its strong work on prominent real estate private equity deals, alongside wider strengths in infrastructure matters and portfolio transactions, with clients including private equity houses, investment funds and management teams. Recent headline instructions from the broader platform give a clear sense of the quality and scale of the work including advising on a £400 million acquisition of a portfolio of hotels from a major UK REIT, a £351 million acquisition of a mixed portfolio of industrial, office, leisure and residential assets, and a £230 million acquisition of a portfolio of purpose-built student accommodation assets. The practice regularly advises some of the most recognised names in global real estate private equity. The associate group is deliberately lean roughly 8–12 associates across the broader offering which means juniors and mid-levels gain early responsibility, direct partner access and involvement in marquee mandates from a very early stage. The 2026 edition of Chambers UK recognised the firm with 17 practice rankings and 38 lawyer rankings both all-time highs reflecting its continued strength across high-end transactional work. Why This Role? This is a team where the work is genuinely sophisticated and the structure rewards those who want to develop quickly. The lean model means there is no hiding behind layers of hierarchy — associates are embedded in deals, working directly alongside partners, and given responsibility that would take considerably longer to acquire elsewhere. The firm does not operate a bonus structure; total compensation is instead reflected in a strong base salary. There are no rigid billable hour targets, with the culture focused on quality of work rather than hours management. Chambers describes the firm as having "strategic, pragmatic and sophisticated counsel with a deep understanding of the business" and notes that the team is "well-suited to manage cross-border transactions in virtually any market." What They Are Looking For The team is targeting candidates across the 2–6 PQE range, with the immediate focus at the junior end around 2–3 PQE. Crucially, this is not a role for a pure real estate lawyer. The ideal candidate will have a strong and broad corporate background with solid experience across M&A and joint ventures and ideally some exposure to funds or investment structures, combined with an interest in or experience of real estate assets. Candidates should be comfortable working fluidly across corporate and real estate private equity disciplines and be genuinely interested in complex, investment-driven transactions. The team values intellectual curiosity, commercial instinct, and the ability to operate independently in a lean environment. England & Wales qualified candidates are preferred. Irish-qualified candidates with relevant experience will also be considered. Backgrounds considered include candidates from a wide range of top-tier City and international firms across the Magic Circle, Silver Circle, and elite US platform peer group, as well as leading mid-market and specialist transactional practices. To Apply The search is at an early stage and there is genuine scope to introduce strong profiles now. If you have a strong corporate transactional background and are interested in moving into or deepening your experience in real estate private equity at a high-performing, lean platform, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please get in touch for a confidential conversation.

Corporate Energy Associate - 1–4 PQE - London We are building early-stage pipeline for a Corporate Associate opportunity at one of London's most distinctive and specialist international energy practices. This is not yet a fully live mandate the team is planning ahead proactively but there is genuine intent to hire, no candidates currently in process, and a real opportunity for the right profile to get ahead of the market. The Firm & Team This is a unique platform in the London legal market. The firm is the only law firm in London solely dedicated to energy transactions, finance, projects and dispute resolution, giving it a market position that no generalist competitor can replicate. The Corporate team sits within this specialist energy context, advising on complex, cross-border transactions across Africa, the Middle East and the United States with a primary focus on oil and gas one of the most technically demanding and internationally complex deal environments in the market. The firm has a unique position in the London legal market and demonstrates particular strength in upstream oil and gas financing as well as the development of floating LNG projects. Its lawyers regularly handle restructurings and a range of M&A work across the sector, with clients including major financial institutions and energy companies as well as private equity-backed new entrants. The firm's global reach extends to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America. Chambers Global 2026 recognised the firm as a global leader in energy, finance and infrastructure, awarding Band 1 rankings for both USA: Energy: Oil & Gas and UK: Energy & Natural Resources: Oil & Gas, with clients praising the firm's cross-border capabilities and depth in complex energy and infrastructure matters. The Corporate team itself is close-knit and highly collaborative — described internally as a "wolf pack" in the best sense — where lawyers work across all partners and matters rather than in silos. The culture is energetic, outgoing, and commercially driven without being overly rigid or hierarchical. Personality fit and team integration are as important as technical ability. The Work The deal flow reflects the firm's genuinely distinctive global network. Associates in this team work on cross-border corporate transactions spanning oil and gas acquisitions and disposals, joint ventures, complex multi-jurisdictional M&A and project-related corporate structures often involving African and Middle Eastern counterparties, including sovereign and government entities, and coordinating across multiple time zones and legal systems simultaneously. Renewables and energy transition work is a growing area alongside the core oil and gas practice. This is not siloed or narrowly defined work. It is the kind of complex, sometimes unpredictable, international transactional environment where lawyers develop broad judgment and deep commercial instinct quickly. Why This Opportunity? The compensation is benchmarked against leading US firm rates NQ salaries in the region of £158,000–£171,000 meaning candidates are not trading pay to move. What they are gaining is a materially different working environment: more collaborative, more team-oriented, and more trust-based than the typical high-intensity US firm model, with genuine flexibility for those who deliver. The team actively supports the development of its lawyers and is willing to bring on slightly more junior candidates if the fit is right and the ambition is clear. Crucially, there are no candidates currently in play. This is a genuine pipeline opportunity for a well-positioned candidate to be first to the table. What They Are Looking For The team is targeting corporate lawyers at 1–4 PQE. Backgrounds from US or international firms are strongly preferred given the nature of the cross-border work, though strong candidates from UK firms with relevant energy and international exposure will be considered. Non-negotiable requirements include solid corporate transactional experience, genuine exposure to cross-border and multi-jurisdictional deal execution, and critically experience in or a strong interest in the energy sector, particularly oil and gas. Africa-related transaction experience is a significant advantage given the complexity of the jurisdictions involved. Behaviourally, the team is looking for someone who is outgoing, commercially minded, comfortable with ambiguity and fast-moving deal environments, and who genuinely wants to be part of a tight-knit, collaborative team rather than a large hierarchical machine. Candidates without cross-border experience or energy sector exposure will not be considered. In-house backgrounds are not preferred unless directly relevant. Given the pipeline nature of this opportunity, timing and feedback may be slower than a fully live search. We are collecting strong CVs now to present ahead of the formal process opening. If you are a corporate lawyer with energy and international experience and are open to a confidential conversation, please reach out directly.
