Senior Associate -Corporate/Private Equity

Nicholas Scott Lateral Lawyer Hires is looking for a Senior Associate -Corporate/Private Equity

Job description

Corporate Associate (3–7 PQE) – Elite US Platform | London


Associates qualified in the UK or Australia and New Zealand will be considered.


This is a standout opportunity to join a lean, high-performing team advising on complex, cross-border transactions with significant client exposure from day one. BD is actively encouraged to show your partnership potential.


The Role

You will work on a broad range of high-value corporate transactions, including:

  • Private equity investments and exits
  • Cross-border M&A (buy-side and sell-side)
  • Joint ventures and strategic investments
  • Corporate structuring and advisory matters

The team is particularly active across international sponsor-led transactions and complex multi-jurisdictional deals.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Direct partner access – work closely with market-leading partners in a genuinely lean team
  • High-quality deal flow (huge USA exposure)– sophisticated, international transactions
  • Responsibility early – meaningful involvement in execution and client interaction
  • US firm platform – strong global integration and top-tier client base
  • Clear progression – opportunity to develop towards senior associate level with real visibility


Candidate Profile

  • Strong experience in M&A and/or private equity transactions
  • Technically strong with excellent drafting skills
  • Commercially minded with the ability to operate in a fast-paced environment and enjoy it !


The Opportunity

This role will suit an ambitious associate looking to step into a more entrepreneurial, high-responsibility environment, with the backing of a top-tier global platform.
