Corporate Solicitor (1-4 PQE)

Your new role

This is an excellent opportunity for a Corporate Solicitor (around NQ-4 years' PQE, though this is flexible) to join a high‑performing corporate team based in the South. You will work alongside experienced Partners and fee‑earners, gaining exposure to a strong pipeline of transactional work and a diverse range of corporate matters. The role will involve supporting on share and asset acquisitions and disposals, shareholder and corporate governance arrangements, joint ventures, share options, reorganisations, and general company law matters. You will help coordinate due diligence, prepare company secretarial documents and filings, and provide support on both transactional and non‑transactional advisory work. As you develop within the team, you will take increasing ownership of your own matters and contribute to business development initiatives.

What you'll need to succeed

• You will be a newly qualified Solicitor with experience or genuine interest in corporate law.
• Prior exposure to corporate transactions is advantageous but not essential.
• You will bring excellent communication skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to stay organised in a fast‑paced environment.
• A commercially minded approach, confidence using technology and enthusiasm for learning will be key.
• You should be comfortable managing elements of your own workload while collaborating closely with colleagues across the department.
• The team is looking for someone who is proactive, adaptable, and committed to delivering a high‑quality service.
• A willingness to participate in marketing and business development activities will also be beneficial.

What you'll get in return

You will join a supportive and forward‑thinking firm that offers high‑quality work, genuine career development and a collaborative team environment. The firm promotes hybrid working, provides generous holiday allowances, and offers a competitive salary and bonus scheme, as well as healthcare benefits, social activities and opportunities to get involved in community and charitable initiatives.

What you need to do now

If you are interested in this opportunity or would like to discuss it further, please get in touch for a confidential conversation. If this role isn't quite right for you but you're exploring new opportunities in corporate law, we would still be happy to hear from you. We anticipate that a lawyer with 1-4 years' PQE will have the level of experience suited to this position, but we welcome applications from candidates outside this range who can demonstrate the necessary skills and potential.
