🚨 We’re hiring: Corporate Associate (5+ PQE) – 4-day week, 100% salary, fully remote (with optional office access)

Looking for your next step in corporate law where you can work on complex, high-value, international matters, take real ownership of files, and help build something long-term?

We’re IMD Solicitors LLP — a modern, multi-award-winning law firm, proud to be named one of the Sunday Times Best Places to Work and recognised by Legal 500.

About the role

You’ll be joining our Corporate & Commercial team (IMD Corporate), working on a broad range of corporate matters for UK and international clients, including founders, investors, scale-ups, and established businesses.

This is a senior, hands-on role. You will be trusted to run matters independently, think commercially, and deliver work to a high standard with minimal supervision. Commercial contracts experience is an advantage, but strong corporate capability is essential.

The work is varied, often complex, and frequently cross-border. You won’t be siloed. You’ll be expected to think, adapt, and step into new challenges with confidence.

This is a genuine opportunity to:

work on sophisticated corporate transactions and advisory matters
take real responsibility and ownership of client relationships
contribute to business development and profile-building
progress, in time, towards partnership for the right person

This role is for you if:

✅ You are 5+ PQE (Associate / Senior Associate level) in Corporate law

✅ You have experience across a wide range of corporate matters

✅ You are comfortable working independently and making sound judgement calls

✅ You are not afraid of new or unfamiliar work and can research, learn, and deliver to a high standard

✅ You have been actively involved in business development and building your professional reputation

✅ You have some level of client following or demonstrable BD success, with ambition to grow this further

✅ You value culture, humility, and team-first behaviour as much as technical excellence

This is not a role for someone who needs constant hand-holding. It is a role for someone who takes responsibility, enjoys trust, and wants to build something meaningful.

How we hire (and why this matters)

At IMD:

Humility is non-negotiable
Emotional intelligence is required
Ego has no place here, regardless of seniority or following
We hire builders, not takers
Values and attitude come before titles

Technical excellence matters.

How you (and everyone in our team) behave matters more.

What’s in it for you:

✅ 4-day week – 100% salary, 80% time

🌍 Fully remote, with optional office access in Manchester, London, or Birmingham

💬 Supportive, no-politics culture built on respect, honesty, care, and excellence

💡 High autonomy with genuine trust

📈 Clear long-term progression, including a realistic path to partnership

⚙️ Small firm, serious work – big on innovation and efficiency

💚 Health & wellbeing package – Paycare health plan, life insurance, and regular team events
