Corporate Associate, 2–4 PQE, £58,000–£75,000, Leading Firm, Leeds\n \n A corporate role with a genuine breadth of work streams. At larger firms a corporate lawyer at this stage often gets locked into a single seam and stays there; here M&A forms the core, but you'd also pick up private equity, restructures and broader corporate advisory work. That's the difference between a well-rounded practice and a narrow one.\n \n \n Deals typically run from £5m to £100m+, domestic and cross-border, acting for owner-managed businesses, SMEs and large corporates across a wide spread of sectors.\n \n \n You'd run your own smaller matters, with supervision where it's needed, while supporting partners and legal directors on the larger transactions - real files of your own from early on rather than a permanent second-chair role.\n \n \n Because the team is recruiting across three levels simultaneously, progression isn't a queue behind someone who isn't going anywhere. The structure above you is being built, not defended.\n \n \n The package includes 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off, with buy and sell options, profit share, private medical cover, pension and life assurance, generous family friendly leave, and volunteer days.\n \n \n This is one of the better corporate moves in Leeds right now.\n \n Interested?\n \n \n Apply here or contact Chris Barr at QED Legal.

New: Corporate Senior Associate, 5+ PQE, £72,000-£95,000, leading Yorkshire independent, Leeds\n \n This is a senior associate seat in one of the region's most active corporate teams. It's open to established senior associates and to associates already operating at that level.\n \n The differentiator is ownership. You'll run your own caseload and hold your own client relationships, leading on smaller deals while working alongside senior lawyers on high-value matters - the substance of a partnership case rather than a deferred one, in a team given the time to build client relationships properly rather than bill against the clock.\n \n The work is genuinely international for a firm of this size: private companies and PLCs, UK and cross-border, with the team having acted across 25 jurisdictions in the past twelve months. The technical spread covers M&A, private equity investments, buyouts, joint ventures, reorganisations and corporate governance.\n \n On track record, this team has been the most active corporate dealmaker in the region for five consecutive years, on deals exceeding £100m. Its standing is reflected in a Band 1 Chambers UK ranking for Corporate/M&A (£5m and above) in Yorkshire, several Leading Individuals, and Regional Legal Team of the Year at the 2026 Yorkshire Rainmaker Awards for the second year running.\n \n Collaboration is a real feature rather than a slogan: you'll work across other teams regularly to share opportunities and knowledge, and you'll be expected to develop junior lawyers as part of the senior role.\n \n The package includes 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays and your birthday off, with the option to buy or sell; private medical cover; profit share; pension and life assurance; generous family-friendly leave; and wellbeing provision extending to on-site yoga and pilates.\n \n For a corporate lawyer who wants to own the client relationship and build a following, in a team with the deal volume and rankings to back it, this is one of the stronger senior openings in Leeds\n \n \n Interested?

Banking — Legal Director (with partner track) or Junior Partner, 8+ PQE, corporate-led firm, £90,000–£120,000\n \n \n A well-regarded firm with a busy corporate practice has a recurring problem: the banking work running through its deals has nowhere to go in-house. It currently gets farmed out or turned away. The firm wants that to stop - and it wants someone to build the capability that ends it.\n \n \n There is no banking team yet. This is the mandate to create one, with the firm's backing and a pipeline of existing deal-related work to draw on from the outset. The platform, the internal referrals and the room to hire are already in place; what's missing is the person to lead it.\n \n \n Partnership here doesn't hinge on arriving with a ready-made following. The business case is already made - the corporate team is generating the work, and the firm has decided it wants this offering. The right person consolidates that internal flow while building new clients alongside it, rather than being asked to prove a book before they've started.\n \n \n It suits a banking lawyer ready to run their own show - perhaps one whose route to partnership has stalled behind business - case or origination requirements elsewhere.\n \n \n Apply online or contact Chris at QED Legal to find out more about this or similar opportunities.
