Corporate Solicitor

We’re representing a leading UK law firm that is seeking to add an experienced Corporate Solicitor to its ranks.

This is not your typical corporate role, it offers the chance to move beyond pure transactional work and step into a space where you’ll combine your deal experience with advisory, governance and risk management expertise.

The salary banding is £75,000–£90,000 (DOE) and will be primarily office-based in Worcester (4–5 days per week), offering the chance to work closely with your team and senior leadership.

Why this role is different:

The team is central to the firm’s corporate offering, advising on due diligence, investigations, compliance, governance and secretarial matters, the detail behind the deal that makes everything stack up. If you’ve enjoyed the investigatory and problem-solving aspects of M&A, this could be a refreshing next step.

What you’ll be doing:

You’ll work directly with the Head of Team, taking a lead role on complex projects while also mentoring junior lawyers. Your days will be varied, one week conducting in-depth due diligence for a cross-border transaction, the next advising boards on governance structures or compliance risks. It’s a role for someone who thrives on detail but also sees the bigger commercial picture.

What we’re looking for:

• 4–8 years PQE in corporate law (M&A background essential).
• An eye for detail and a natural curiosity, you enjoy unpicking the fine print to uncover risks.
• Strong drafting and advisory skills.
• Someone who enjoys building relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

What’s in it for you?

You’ll join a collaborative, forward-thinking firm that values career progression and wellbeing.

Benefits include:

• Private medical cover & wellbeing perks
• 28 days’ holiday plus bank holidays
• Pension & life assurance
• Bonus scheme
• Support for greener travel (EV scheme, cycle-to-work)
• Gym membership contributions & health initiatives
• Opportunities for international secondments (for lawyers up to 5 years’ PQE)
