Legal job openings of the day, 29 October: senior M&A at EY and international tax in Seville
Legal job openings for 29 October 2026: senior M&A at EY Barcelona, junior at Pérez-Llorca, real estate at Forcadell and corporate at Veolia.
New daily selection of legal job openings in Spain, verified on the employers' own portals or on the recruiting consultants' websites. A mixed day: a senior offer at a Big Four in Barcelona, entry into the elite through Pérez-Llorca, real estate at Forcadell and a junior corporate role at Veolia published yesterday.
Senior Lawyer, Corporate M&A at EY Law Spain (Barcelona)
EY's legal arm keeps hiring in corporate and M&A for its Barcelona office. The profile sought has consolidated experience advising on share purchases and mergers, and the environment is the classic Big Four one: multidisciplinary teams, clients with international operations and coordinated work with auditors and consultants. An interesting option for lawyers coming from mid-sized firms looking to scale their practice. Applications through EY's careers portal.
Junior Corporate / M&A at Pérez-Llorca (Madrid)
Pérez-Llorca is hiring a junior lawyer for its Corporate area in Madrid, according to the active listing on its talent portal. Requirements: a law degree, completed legal-practice training, a high level of English and bar admission by October 2026. The firm offers a permanent contract, immediate incorporation, competitive pay and its TESEO training programme, awarded by the Managing Partners' Forum. It is the usual entry door into the elite tier, where an outstanding academic record and solid English make the difference.
Junior Real Estate at Forcadell (Barcelona)
Forcadell, the Barcelona real-estate consultancy, is looking for a junior lawyer for its legal area, with work focused on real-estate and property transactions. It is an opportunity outside the classic firm circuit, on the client's side: in-house legal functions in a company whose business is the property market. A good fit for those seeking an environment closer to the business than to litigation.
Junior Corporate Lawyer at Veolia (Barcelona)
Veolia is looking for a junior corporate lawyer for its corporate legal department, supporting the team and advising the group's companies, according to the listing published on its careers portal on 28 October (reference REF65055H). The role covers commercial, corporate and contract law with a clear business orientation. A solid option for those who prefer an in-house track at a large multinational over the classic firm circuit.
A note on applications
Before sending anything, check that the offer is still live on the employer's own portal; consultancies occasionally keep pages open after a position is filled. Prepare a one-page CV focused on the practice area of each offer, and in spontaneous applications to elite firms, mention recent deals or practice areas published by the firm itself: it signals genuine interest and separates the application from the generic pile.
How to read today's market
Today's offers draw the two axes of the junior market in late 2026: the classic elite firm, which keeps selecting through internship programmes and is sparing with salary details, and the corporate and in-house market, which keeps absorbing junior profiles at large multinationals like Veolia. For candidates, the practical advice remains applying through the employer's official portal and customising the cover letter for each offer.
The senior M&A market, for its part, keeps absorbing lawyers from mid-sized firms into multidisciplinary structures like the Big Four, a trend visible throughout 2026.
Tomorrow we will publish a new selection. The full employment section of Agente Lex gathers the complete history of offers and practical guides for candidates and firms.
