Senior Associate / Partner – York
Location: York
Salary: Highly competitive + bonus
Synergy Personnel Services is delighted to be exclusively supporting a Top 50 UK law firm with the strategic growth of its Corporate team in York.
This is a rare opportunity for an experienced Senior Associate or established Partner to play a key role in expanding a well-regarded corporate offering, backed by the platform, infrastructure and national reach of a leading firm.
The Opportunity
Our client is a modern, fast-growing commercial law firm with a strong reputation for delivering high-quality legal services to entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses, SMEs and large corporates.
The York office is a key part of the firm’s regional strategy, offering significant scope for a senior lawyer to shape the local corporate practice, drive client relationships and influence growth.
You will work as part of a national Corporate team, advising on a broad range of matters, including:
- Mergers & acquisitions (buy-side and sell-side)
- Private equity and venture capital transactions
- Corporate restructures and reorganisations
- Shareholder agreements and governance matters
- General corporate advisory work
The Role
Depending on your level, this role offers:
- Senior Associate: A clear pathway to Partnership, with responsibility for leading transactions, mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to business development
- Partner: A platform to grow and lead your own practice, with full support around infrastructure, marketing and cross-referrals
You will be encouraged to take a commercial, client-facing approach, with genuine autonomy and the ability to build long-term client relationships.

- Qualified Solicitors (England & Wales) with strong Corporate experience
- Senior Associates ready to step up, or existing Partners seeking a more agile platform
- Lawyers with a proven track record in M&A and general corporate advisory
- Individuals with strong commercial awareness and a client-centric mindset
A following is welcomed at Partner level, but this is not a prerequisite given the firm’s strong internal referral network.

- Top 50 UK law firm with a strong growth trajectory
- Entrepreneurial, non-traditional model with less hierarchy
- High-quality work without the City firm culture
- Genuine work-life balance and flexible working approach
