Your new firm is a highly regarded and award-winning regional law firm with a strong reputation for advising entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses, investors and corporate organisations across a broad range of sectors. Recognised in leading legal directories, the firm is known for delivering high-quality legal advice while fostering a collaborative and supportive culture. With continued investment in its Corporate team, the firm offers an excellent platform for lawyers seeking a strategic and knowledge-focused role within a growing practice.
Your new role is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Corporate solicitor to join a thriving team as a Professional Support Lawyer (PSL). Working closely with partners and lawyers across the Corporate department, you will play a key role in maintaining technical excellence, supporting knowledge management initiatives and promoting best practice across the team. The position will involve:
- Drafting and maintaining precedents, templates and guidance materials
- Providing technical support on complex corporate matters
- Monitoring legal and regulatory developments
- Ensuring lawyers remain up to date with market and legislative changes
- Delivering training programmes
- Supporting the development of junior lawyers
- Contributing to thought leadership
- Assisting with business development and client-facing initiatives
Alongside this, you will support innovation and continuous improvement projects, helping to enhance processes, knowledge-sharing systems and legal technology adoption across the department. The role offers the opportunity to remain closely involved in high-quality corporate work while moving away from fee-earning pressures and focusing on technical leadership, collaboration and strategic development.
What you'll need to succeed: You will be a qualified solicitor with strong experience in Corporate law, ideally gained within a leading regional, national or City firm. Applications are welcomed from existing Professional Support Lawyers as well as experienced Corporate fee earners looking to transition into a knowledge-focused position. You should possess excellent technical knowledge across corporate transactions, strong drafting and research skills, and the ability to communicate complex legal issues in a practical and accessible manner. The successful candidate will be highly organised, commercially aware, proactive and passionate about supporting the professional development of others.
What you'll get in return: In return, you will join a forward-thinking firm that places significant emphasis on professional development, collaboration and flexibility. The firm offers a competitive salary and benefits package, hybrid working arrangements, performance-related incentives and the opportunity to play a strategic role within a respected Corporate team. This is an excellent opportunity for a lawyer seeking a technically focused career path while remaining closely connected to high-quality transactional work.
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 is not quite right for you, but you are considering a move within Corporate, Commercial or Professional Support Law, I would be delighted to discuss other opportunities currently available. We would expect a lawyer with the stated level of experience to have developed the appropriate skills for the role; however, applications from individuals with a broader range of experience are equally welcome.
