Opportunity: Commercial Solicitor | 2-6 Years PQE
Location: Reading (Hybrid - 2 Days Per Week in Office)
Salary: £55,000 - £72,000 + Bonus
If you're a commercial solicitor who enjoys high-quality work but wants a genuinely supportive, human environment - this could be the move that changes everything.
This is an opportunity to join a highly ranked Legal 500 and Chambers firm with a standout reputation in the commercial and technology space. You'll be working with an impressive client base spanning international businesses, high-growth UK companies and innovative tech-led organisations, advising on complex, business-critical matters.
What sets this firm apart isn't just the quality of work - it's how they treat their people.
The Opportunity:
You'll join a collaborative and well-established Commercial & Technology team, working closely with experienced lawyers on a broad range of matters including:
Commercial contracts and strategic advisory work
Data protection and regulatory matters
Supporting UK and EMEA operations of international clients
Acting as a trusted day-to-day adviser to growing businesses
This is a role where you'll build real client relationships, not just churn through work.
Why This Role Stands Out:
Genuinely supportive culture - approachable leadership and a team-first environment
High-quality, varied work without the city firm burnout
Clear progression with real investment in your development
A firm that actively promotes work/life balance and flexibility, not just talks about it
What We Are Looking For:
2-6 years' PQE in commercial law
Strong experience in drafting and negotiating commercial agreements
Commercial awareness and confidence dealing with clients directly
Someone proactive, personable and keen to be part of a growing team
What Is in It for You:
Hybrid working (with real flexibility)
25 days holiday + option to buy more
Private medical insurance
Life assurance (5x salary)
Pension scheme
Birthday off + wellbeing hour each week
Charity days + active social calendar
Cycle to work scheme & season ticket loan
The Bottom Line:
If you're feeling like just another number where you are - this is a chance to join a firm where you'll be valued, supported and given space to grow, while still doing genuinely interesting, high-level commercial work.
