THE ROLE:
An opportunity has arisen for an experienced Corporate Solicitor to join a well-regarded corporate and commercial department that plays a central role in the firm’s growth strategy. The team advises a strong and expanding client base on a broad range of corporate matters, delivering commercially focused and technically robust advice.
You will work on a wide variety of transactions including share sales and purchases, mergers and acquisitions, corporate restructurings and business disposals. The role will involve drafting and negotiating key transactional documents such as share purchase agreements, disclosure letters and ancillary documentation, advising on governance matters and preparing bespoke shareholder and LLP agreements.

The successful candidate will have at least five years’ post-qualification experience in corporate law, with strong technical drafting ability and attention to detail. You will demonstrate experience handling corporate transactions independently with appropriate supervision, and possess a commercially focused, solution-driven approach. Familiarity with corporate work within the financial services or accountancy sectors would be advantageous. A collaborative working style and the confidence to engage directly with clients will be key to success in this role.

This is an award-winning and Legal 500 ranked firm with a strong reputation for corporate and commercial work. The culture is collaborative and ambitious, with a clear commitment to professional development and long-term client relationships.
