Your new firm Our client is a highly regarded, Legal 500-recognised regional law firm with a strong reputation for quality, collaboration, and sustainable growth.
Check out the role overview below If you are confident you have got the right skills and experience, apply today.
The firm is consistently recognised in leading legal directories and industry awards, and is known for its supportive culture, client-first ethos, and commitment to developing its people.
With ambitious plans for continued expansion, the firm continues to invest in both its lawyers and its market-leading services.
Your new role This is an excellent opportunity for a Commercial & IP Solicitor (2-5 PQE) to join a growing and dynamic team.
You will work with a diverse client base that includes household-name brands, innovative technology businesses, and owner-managed companies, advising on a broad range of commercial and intellectual property matters.
Clients operate across sectors including technology, software, manufacturing, retail, and other consumer-facing industries, with increasing exposure to cross-border work.
Your role will involve drafting, negotiating, and advising on a wide range of commercial agreements, including supply and distribution contracts, licensing arrangements, technology and software agreements, and high-value service contracts.
You will also have the opportunity to advise on intellectual property matters such as IP protection strategies, licensing, brand management, and IP considerations within wider commercial transactions.
What you'll need to succeed You will be a qualified Solicitor with approximately 2-5 years' relevant PQE.
Experience gained at a Legal 500/Chambers-ranked firm, or a high-quality in-house legal team, is desirable.
The firm will welcome candidates who bring experience as a commercial lawyer with either exposure to, or a strong interest in developing expertise within, intellectual property; or experience within IP law with a desire to broaden your commercial contracts and transactional skillset.
You should have strong technical knowledge of commercial law, excellent client-facing skills, and the ability to deliver clear, practical, and commercially focused advice.
The ability to manage your own workload while collaborating effectively within a team, alongside a proactive and solutions-focused mindset, is essential.
What you'll get in return You'll join a collaborative and forward-thinking team within a firm that values high-quality work, flexibility, and long-term career development.
The firm offers a competitive remuneration package (dependent on experience), including a generous fee-earner bonus and a comprehensive benefits offering designed to support work-life balance and career progression.
Hybrid working is embedded, with defined core hours and flexibility around start and finish times, alongside additional perks such as free parking and enhanced family-friendly benefits.
What you need to do now If you are interested in this opportunity or would like further details, please get in touch for a confidential discussion.
If this role isn't quite right, but you're exploring new opportunities, we would still be pleased to hear from you.
The firm would typically expect a lawyer within the stated PQE range to have gained the relevant level of experience, though applications from candidates with slightly more or less PQE are welcomed. xsngvjr
