If you’re a Corporate Solicitor who enjoys variety, pace, and real responsibility, this is a strong move. Our client is growing its Corporate team and is looking for a solicitor who can run matters confidently, build trusted client relationships, and help strengthen the firm’s corporate and commercial profile in London and beyond.

The Opportunity

You’ll join a collaborative Corporate team in a busy, modern practice environment, working with a broad client base ranging from start-ups and SMEs through to larger businesses with national and international reach. You’ll have the autonomy to manage your own caseload, with the support of a team that values quality, responsiveness, and commercial thinking.

The Work (Corporate & Commercial Matters)

You will advise on a varied caseload including:
  • Business sales and purchases (share and asset deals)
  • Shareholder agreements and related corporate governance matters
  • Commercial contracts (including trading agreements and terms)
  • Loan agreements and general financing documentation
  • Wider corporate and commercial advisory work as required

Requirements (What We’re Looking For)

To be considered, you should have:
  • Qualified Solicitor (England & Wales)
  • Minimum 3+ years’ PQE with UK corporate experience (either in private practice or an equivalent UK-based environment)
  • Solid technical grounding across M&A / business acquisitions and disposals and core corporate documentation
  • Confidence handling matters with appropriate supervision and managing deadlines in a busy team
  • Strong client care and communication skills (written and verbal)
  • commercially minded approach and interest in understanding clients’ businesses
  • A proactive attitude to relationship-building and business development (not necessarily a following, but clear intent and capability)

Salary & Benefits

  • Salary: £75,000–£100,000 (guide range, dependent on experience)
  • Bonus: Bonus arrangements available (to be agreed)
  • Clear career progression as the corporate team grows (scope to increase responsibility and profile)
  • High-quality, varied work with clients of different sizes and sectors
  • A supportive, collaborative team culture with genuine opportunity to contribute to growth
  • Autonomy to run matters and develop client relationships
