Corporate Solicitor

Corporate Solicitor | NQ-4 PQE | Southampton

This is the kind of firm Corporate Solicitors aim for but don't always find. A leading South Coast practice, consistently recognised for the quality of its corporate work, with a reputation built on serious transactions and a supportive, down-to-earth culture.

The Role

From early on, you'll be involved in real deals, not just watching from the sidelines. Working closely with partners and senior lawyers, you'll support on mid-market M&A, private equity transactions and complex corporate advisory work, while steadily taking on more responsibility as your experience grows.

You'll assist with share and asset acquisitions, draft and negotiate key documents such as SPAs and shareholders' agreements, support restructures and governance matters, and coordinate due diligence alongside banking, employment and real estate teams. It's varied, fast-moving work with strong supervision and genuine progression.
