The firm combines top-tier commercial work with a genuinely collaborative and supportive culture - and is now looking to appoint a Senior Commercial Solicitor (5+ PQE) to play a key role in the next stage of its growth.

Work closely with an impressive portfolio of clients, from household names to entrepreneurial growth businesses.

The environment is professional but down-to-earth, with plenty of autonomy and flexibility for senior lawyers who want to make their mark.
Your Day-to-Day
You'll advise on a wide range of commercial and regulatory matters, including:
Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts - from supply and distribution agreements to terms and conditions and framework arrangements.
Advising on compliance issues including data protection, anti-bribery, and modern slavery.
Acting as a trusted legal partner to clients, offering clear, business-focused guidance.
Supporting commercial workstreams within M&A and corporate transactions.
Getting involved in the wider development of the team, including client engagement, thought leadership and mentoring.

A strong technical foundation in drafting and negotiating commercial contracts.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to build long-term client relationships.
A commercial mindset, with a genuine interest in helping clients achieve their business objectives.
The drive to help grow a practice area and support the development of colleagues.

High-quality work with a broad and interesting client base.
Genuine influence and visibility within a growing team.
Flexible hybrid working and a supportive culture that values balance.
Competitive salary and benefits, aligned with your experience and contribution.
