A chance to join a highly regarded South West firm and play a genuine part in growing its Commercial offering in Bristol.
If you are a Commercial Solicitor who enjoys the variety of commercial work but wants more ownership, client exposure and opportunity to build a profile, this could be an interesting next step.
The firm already has an established Commercial practice, with an experienced Partner leading a broad caseload across:
- Commercial contracts and contract negotiations
- E-commerce
- Data protection
- Marketing, media and brand agreements
- Wider commercial advice to growing businesses
The client base is equally varied, ranging from entrepreneurial SMEs and owner-managed businesses through to larger national organisations, across sectors including technology, manufacturing, retail and professional services.
The Bristol Commercial practice is looking to grow, and this role is about much more than simply taking on an existing caseload. You will have the opportunity to build relationships, develop your own client base and play an active role in establishing the firm's presence in the Bristol commercial market.
You will work closely with a leading Commercial Partner who has an excellent reputation for providing practical, commercially focused advice and developing long-term client relationships.
The firm is particularly interested in someone who can bring commercial judgement, personality and a genuine appetite for business development.
I'm keen to speak with Commercial Solicitors who:
- Have solid experience across commercial contracts.
- Would like the opportunity to help grow a practice rather than simply service an existing one.
- Are ideally operating at Senior Associate level upwards, although strong Commercial Solicitors at other levels may also be considered.
This is a Bristol-based opportunity, with regular travel to the firm's Swindon office and occasional travel to other offices.
If you're a Commercial Solicitor in Bristol who feels like you're ready for more autonomy and the opportunity to build something, I'd be very happy to have a confidential conversation.
