Corporate Solicitor

Are you a seasoned Corporate Solicitor seeking a more balanced and fulfilling role? This opportunity offers just that—combining high-quality corporate transactions with strategic, non-transactional project work in a truly unique setting.

Why This Role Stands Out

You'll still be involved in complex UK and international corporate deals, but with a significant portion of your time dedicated to high-level consultancy projects that extend beyond traditional legal work.

Working closely with a multidisciplinary team, you'll use your legal expertise to tackle business challenges for leading blue-chip clients—without the relentless time pressure of pure transactional roles.

This hybrid model offers both stimulation and sustainability.

About the Company

You'll be joining a globally respected professional services brand, known for delivering fully integrated, cross-disciplinary solutions.

Their legal division is growing fast, offering a rare chance to shape its future while working in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment—one that moves away from the rigid structure of many conventional law firms.

The Role

As a Corporate Solicitor, you will provide strategic legal counsel on a range of UK and cross-border matters.

You'll lead multi-jurisdictional transactions, advise major clients across sectors, and contribute to expanding the firm's corporate legal offering.

Around 50% of your workload will involve innovative project-based consultancy work—giving you space to breathe and grow.

Key Responsibilities

• Advise on M&A, joint ventures, equity investments, corporate structuring, and reorganisations

About You

What's on Offer

• £75,000-£90,000 base salary plus significant benefits including a clear and achievable bonus structure


• Flexible hybrid working


• Realistic, well-supported career progression


• The chance to escape the "always-on" corporate grind


• Opportunity to do varied, strategic work beyond deals


• Inclusive, innovative, and supportive culture
