Corporate Solicitor

Leading National Firm | Corporate Solicitor | 1+ Years PQE

Build your corporate career within a highly rated, entrepreneurial team of over 70 lawyers, working on a broad mix of transactions for clients ranging from ambitious SMEs to FTSE 100 companies, with cogent investment in your development from day one.

The Firm
This is a large, full-service UK law firm with over 10 offices nationwide and a reputation for being big, without the attitude. It is B Corporation certified, consistently ranked in the top tiers of Legal 500 and Chambers, and listed among The Times Top 100 Best Companies to Work For. The firm takes a values-led approach and is known for a collaborative, inclusive culture that offers clear progression and a strong work-life balance.

Hybrid working is embedded, offices are modern and well-connected, and the firm actively encourages lawyers at all levels to build their own client relationships and professional networks.

The Team
The Corporate team is one of the firm's flagship practices, led by highly ranked Partners that have national recognition. The team advises on the full spectrum of corporate work, including mergers and acquisitions, disposals, fundraising, private equity, equity capital markets, joint ventures, shareholder arrangements, reorganisations, and corporate governance. It combines true national reach with deep-rooted local presence, giving junior lawyers exposure to substantial, high-quality transactions without being lost in a faceless department.

The Role
You will work as part of a seamless national team, gaining hands-on experience across a wide range of corporate matters. You will contribute to M&A transactions, shareholders' agreements, corporate restructurings, joint ventures, and venture capital or private equity deals.
