Corporate Solicitor
5+ PQE | Liverpool | Hybrid Working
I'm working with a well-established Liverpool law firm that is looking to strengthen its Corporate team with the appointment of an experienced Corporate Solicitor.
This is an opportunity to join a firm with a strong presence across the Liverpool City Region, an established business client base and genuine ambitions to continue developing its corporate offering.
The Role
You'll work closely with owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurs and SMEs, advising on a broad range of corporate matters, including:
- Business sales and acquisitions
- Share and asset transactions
- Management buy-outs and buy-ins
- Shareholder and investment agreements
- Corporate restructures and reorganisations
- Joint ventures
- Partnership and LLP arrangements
- Corporate governance and general company law
You'll have responsibility for managing transactions from instruction through to completion, developing client relationships and working alongside accountants, lenders and other professional advisers.
There is also scope to supervise junior colleagues and play an active role in the continued development of the team.
The Opportunity
What makes this role particularly interesting is the longer-term opportunity.
The firm is looking for someone who wants to become an important part of its Corporate practice, rather than simply come in and manage a caseload.
There is genuine scope to build your own profile, develop relationships within the local business community and take on increasing responsibility as the team continues to grow.
An existing following would be welcomed but certainly isn't essential. The firm is equally interested in someone with the ambition and ability to develop their own network with the right support around them.
What They're Looking For
- A qualified Solicitor with 5+ years' PQE or equivalent corporate experience.
- Experience managing a broad range of corporate transactions independently.
- Strong drafting, negotiation and commercial skills.
- Someone who enjoys building long-term client relationships.
- A commercially minded individual who would like to have a genuine influence on the direction of a team.
What's on Offer?
- Hybrid and agile working.
- Competitive salary, reflective of experience.
- Generous annual leave allowance.
- Birthday holiday.
- Generous pension contributions.
- Medicash membership.
- Death in service cover.
- Paid charity hours.
- Investment in training and development.
- Professional networking opportunities.
A little more about the move...
This could suit an established Corporate Solicitor looking for more autonomy and influence, or someone further into their career who wants to remain hands‑on with quality corporate work in a more balanced environment.
The firm is open-minded about seniority and title for the right individual.
If you're a Corporate Solicitor in Liverpool or the surrounding area and would be interested in hearing a little more, feel free to get in touch for a completely confidential conversation.
