[Hiring] Corporate & Commercial Associate @Lunaria Partners

Role Description

This is not a conventional Corporate Commercial Associate role and represents a superb opportunity to develop coveted specialist expertise. The work sits at the point where international tax strategy becomes legal reality: designing and implementing the corporate structures, intercompany agreements, and group reorganisations that multinational businesses rely on to stay compliant and transaction ready. If you have enjoyed the corporate work you have done so far and want to develop a genuine niche beyond general transactional support - this could be for you!

You will run your own workstreams on international projects for multinational groups headquartered across the UK, Europe, North America and APAC. That means:

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements
• Designing and implementing intercompany agreement frameworks
• Advising on the legal aspects of cross border structures and group reorganisations
• Preparing board minutes, written resolutions and the wider corporate governance documentation

Alongside the above you will support:

• Corporate simplification projects
• Debt restructurings
• M&A transactions, including due diligence and implementation

Interaction with stakeholders is a key aspect of the role. You will therefore be trusted to:

• Lead on calls
• Speak to clients directly
• Liaise with their accountants, tax advisers and transfer pricing specialists

Notably, full training is provided in their specialist areas and the firm will ensure your role is commensurate with PQE.

Qualifications

• Qualified in England and Wales
• 2 to 5 years PQE in corporate, commercial or a transactional practice
• Strong contract drafting and negotiation skills
• Solid grounding in company law and corporate governance
• Experience preparing resolutions and board documentation

Requirements

• Comfortable running matters with real autonomy
• Ability to ask the right questions along the way
• Attention to detail
• Clear writing skills
• Ability to hold several moving parts in mind without losing track

Benefits

• Client contact from the start
• Real responsibility for delivery
• Available and visible progression
• Technically demanding and international projects
• Collaboration with advisers from several disciplines
• Competitive salary
• Private health insurance
• Income protection
• Life insurance
