Corporate Restructuring Solicitor Jobs

Corporate Restructuring Solicitors advise businesses, lenders, investors, insolvency practitioners, and directors on complex corporate restructuring, turnaround, and insolvency matters.

Typical responsibilities include advising on business restructurings, corporate reorganisations, refinancing transactions, administrations, liquidations, company voluntary arrangements (CVAs), restructuring plans, debt restructurings, distressed acquisitions, and cross-border insolvency matters. Corporate Restructuring Solicitors also draft and negotiate legal documentation, conduct due diligence, manage stakeholder negotiations, and represent clients in contentious insolvency proceedings where required.

Career opportunities are available with leading City firms, national and regional law firms, specialist insolvency practices, boutique restructuring teams, and in-house legal departments within financial institutions, banks, private equity firms, and multinational organisations. These roles often involve working closely with insolvency practitioners, accountants, lenders, corporate finance advisers, and senior business leaders on high-value and complex transactions.

Salaries typically range from £60,000 to £180,000+, depending on experience, location, employer, and the complexity of the work.
