The Opportunity
A highly regarded growing law firm is looking to appoint an ambitious Corporate / Commercial Solicitor (2–5 years’ PQE) to join its growing transactional and advisory team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer seeking genuine breadth of work across both corporate and commercial matters, rather than a purely M&A-focused role. The successful candidate will work closely with partners and senior lawyers on a diverse range of transactions and advisory projects, supporting a broad client base including owner-managed businesses, SMEs, entrepreneurs, investors, and larger corporate clients.
The Role
The successful candidate can expect to advise on a broad mix of matters including:
Corporate
- Mergers, acquisitions, and disposals
- Management buy-outs and buy-ins
- Private equity and venture capital investments
- Shareholder arrangements and joint ventures
- Corporate restructurings and reorganisations
- General company law and governance advice
Commercial
- Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts
- Terms and conditions of business
- Supply, distribution, and agency agreements
- Service agreements and outsourcing arrangements
- Partnership and collaboration agreements
- Advising on day-to-day commercial and strategic business matters
This role offers strong client exposure, responsibility from the outset, and the opportunity to build long-term client relationships.
Candidate Profile
The ideal candidate will have:
- 2–5 years’ post-qualification experience gained within a recognised corporate/commercial team
- Experience across a broad range of corporate transactions and commercial contracts
- A genuine interest in developing a mixed corporate/commercial practice
- Strong drafting, negotiation, and technical skills
- Commercial awareness and a pragmatic approach to problem-solving
- Confidence in managing client relationships and working as part of a collaborative team
We are particularly interested in candidates who have developed breadth of experience across corporate and commercial matters, rather than lawyers whose experience has been focused exclusively on mainstream M&A work.
Why Apply?
- High quality and varied work
- Direct partner access and mentoring
- Genuine career progression opportunities
- Strong collegiate culture
- Competitive remuneration and benefits package
