Head of Corporate

Iwan Emanuel, our fantastic Head of Corporate, is currently working for the firm in a consultancy capacity following his retirement form the partnership last year. Iwan has a wealth of knowledge from his time in the City and has skilfully and successfully advised Allan Janes' corporate clients on a wide range of matters during his tenure with the firm. 

We are now looking for his replacement. Iwan is joined in our Corporate & Commercial Team by Nick Morrison, Nicolle Marchant, and James Morrison, who bring a wealth of blue-chip knowledge to the role. However, Iwan is the only solicitor in the practice whose sole focusis corporate law and its environs. 

This role would therefore suit someone who is sufficiently qualified to 'know their stuff' (5 years PQE+). It would also suit someone who is looking to grow a department and with the opportunity for the right candidate to step into a partnership role. Our firm has a strong client base of SME businesses and from the solid foundation built by Iwan, we feel that the right candidate could really push this work forward. 

The ideal candidate will demonstrate competence in the following:

  • M&A

  • VC Buy-out – Management Team Side

  • Share Buybacks

  • Partnership/LLP Agreements

  • Shareholder Agreements

  • Commercial Contracts (T’s & C’s/Distribution & Agency agreements)

  • Franchise Agreements

  • Employee Share Schemes

  • General Corporate Advice (Director’s Duties and Rights, Unfair Prejudice etc)
