The posting

We are looking for a Senior Associate to join our London Corporate practice .

This role sits within our Technology, Media & Communications (TMC) and Gambling team and offers an exciting opportunity to work on a broad range of domestic and cross-border M&A, venture capital, growth capital and strategic corporate transactions. You will advise founders, growth companies, institutional investors, venture capital funds, private equity houses and corporates operating in some of the most dynamic sectors of the economy.

Working alongside leading corporate partners and sector specialists, you will play a key role on high-profile and complex transactions while developing deep TMC sector expertise and building long-term client relationships.

Our Sector Expertise

CMS is recognised as one of Europe's leading firms for the TMC and Gambling sectors. We are consistently ranked by Chambers and Legal 500 across these sectors and are one of the largest and most experienced TMC and Gambling practices in the UK and Europe, with more than 300 lawyers advising clients across the full range of legal disciplines.

Our clients operate across technology, communications, digital infrastructure, software, data-driven businesses, gaming, gambling and other innovative sectors. This breadth of sector coverage generates a significant volume of buy-side and sell-side M&A, venture capital, growth capital and other strategic corporate transactions.

About the Role

You’ll work on cross border deals from day one, the majority of which will involve bespoke and unusual structures and dynamics which provide excellent opportunities to challenge an ambitious and creative corporate lawyer. You’ll collaborate across our 90 plus international offices and work closely with experts in tax, share schemes, IP, data protection, commercial tech, gambling regulatory, competition and disputes to deliver deals in some of the fastest moving sectors of the global economy. We want our corporate lawyers to become genuine subject matter experts in the industry sectors they are immersed in.

If you want exposure to exciting work, innovative and often entrepreneurial clients and complex cross border transactions, CMS offers a platform where you can grow and specialise and develop some first-class industry specific expertise.

Working in the main alongside senior corporate partners who are 100% dedicated to the TMC and Gambling sectors respectively, you will be responsible for a variety of work including:

  • Taking the lead role on a huge array of corporate transactions, managing teams of associates and trainees in the London office and teams of lawyers elsewhere in the UK and overseas.
  • Developing existing and new client relationships, with a freedom to source and develop contacts and prospects (e.g. via entertaining) without needing partner attendance.
  • Supporting the firm in developing its business and raising the profile of the firm in the TMC and Gambling sectors (including opportunities to speak at UK and international industry events and publish content to demonstrate your experience and develop your network).
  • Supervising and training mid-level and junior associates and trainees.
  • Adopting and encouraging the adoption of a sophisticated approach to AI usage in your work and that of the team throughout the lifecycle of a project.

About you

We will invest in your ongoing training and development to support your professional goals and help you to thrive in your role from day one.

You will have excellent drafting skills (often needing to create bespoke documents and mechanisms without relying on precedents) and the ability to translate legal analysis into practical and easy to digest advice. You will need to have sound judgement, strong commercial acumen, good interpersonal and business advisory skills and a willingness and hunger to become genuinely expert in the TMC and Gambling sectors. Your willingness and interest in using AI tools to enhance your work and efficiency is essential. To meet the needs of the role, you will have an appropriate level of post qualification experience. Ideally, we are looking for a minimum PQE of 5 years. The ability to communicate clearly and succinctly with clients is a must.

Ideally you would have existing experience of transacting in the TMC and/or Gambling sectors and/or have specific experience of one or both of the sectors (e.g. via experience working in-house or on secondment at a business operating within either sector).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
