This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working closely with ambitious clients and wants to be part of a team that is growing steadily and strategically. The team and the work Austin Blackburn, Head of the Corporate & Business team had this to say about the team and the work that they do: Having worked in and around Plymouth for nearly 20 years, I have developed a strong following of business clients assisting them through the years with setting up and restructuring their businesses including through mergers and acquisitions, taking finance, advising on their general commercial agreements, establishing succession arrangements and dealing with management buyouts, and asset and share sales. While increasingly focusing on corporate reconstructions, acquisitions, mergers and sales, the work remains varied and we are keen to continue to provide a wide range of legal support to businesses both locally and throughout England. These other areas include advising on and preparing terms of business, partnership and LLP and shareholder agreements, joint venture and other commercial contracts. We also offer a range of trusted advice to directors, shareholders, partners and sole traders. We often work closely with business owners and their accountants and business agents to determine the best strategy. By doing this, we're also able to balance the sometimes competing interests of business efficacy, tax arrangements and finance, developing pragmatic solutions throughout the process. Our approach as a team is to keep matters as straightforward as possible, working with our clients and their other advisors to meet our client's needs, developing long-standing relationships and being by their side as their businesses grow. We're looking to expand the team with someone to work directly alongside myself, developing a broad range of commercial skills with an often varied workload, and establishing strong relationships with clients and other professionals to grow with their own role. You need to be approachable, ready to rise to technical challenges, able to analyse any situation and then offer pragmatic solutions for a varied range of client requirements.
