Job Description
Our client, a well-established and growing Tier-2 law firm, is looking to strengthen its General Corporate Practice by inducting a Partner in its Chennai office.
The firm is seeking an accomplished corporate lawyer with strong experience advising domestic and international clients on a broad spectrum of corporate and commercial matters. While exposure to Private Equity and Venture Capital transactions would be an advantage, the role is primarily focused on building and expanding the firm's General Corporate practice.
Key Responsibilities
- Advise clients on a wide range of general corporate and commercial matters, including corporate governance, corporate structuring, business reorganisations, joint ventures, shareholder arrangements, commercial contracts, and regulatory advisory.
- Provide strategic legal and commercial advice to domestic and multinational clients across diverse sectors.
- Support clients through various stages of their business lifecycle, including incorporations, expansions, restructurings, strategic collaborations, and day-to-day corporate advisory.
- Lead client relationships and deliver practical, business-oriented legal solutions.
- Mentor and develop associates while contributing to the growth and development of the Corporate Practice.
- Collaborate with partners across practice areas to provide seamless, multidisciplinary advice.
- Contribute to business development initiatives and enhance the firm's presence in the Chennai market.
Candidate Profile
- Qualified lawyer with approximately 12+ years of post-qualification experience (flexible for the right candidate).
- Strong experience in General Corporate advisory, including corporate governance, commercial contracts, regulatory advisory, corporate restructurings, joint ventures, and shareholder matters.
- Exposure to Private Equity, Venture Capital, or M&A transactions would be advantageous but is not essential.
- Currently a Partner, Salaried Partner, Counsel, or a senior Principal Associate with a reputed law firm.
- Demonstrated ability to independently advise clients, manage complex mandates, and build trusted client relationships.
- Strong leadership, commercial acumen, and a collaborative approach.
Book of Business
An existing portable book of business would be viewed favourably but is not a prerequisite. The firm is equally interested in candidates with a strong professional reputation, deep technical expertise, and the potential to develop and grow a successful practice over time.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
- Opportunity to play a key role in expanding the firm's Corporate Practice in Chennai.
- Entrepreneurial and collaborative partnership environment.
- Platform to build a long-term practice with support from an established national firm.
- Competitive remuneration with significant opportunities for professional and practice growth.
