Corporate & Commercial Senior Solicitor

A highly regarded and growing City law firm is looking for an experienced Corporate & Commercial Senior Solicitor to join its London team.

The firm acts for an impressive international client base, including Fortune Global 500organisations and household-name businesses, as well as high-growth and entrepreneurial companies. The practice has a strong reputation for advising international businesses on their UK operations and delivering practical, commercially focused legal advice.

This is a genuinely broad Corporate & Commercial role, combining transactional corporate work with ongoing commercial contract support for established clients.

The Role

You will advise a sophisticated client base across a range of corporate and commercial matters, including:

Corporate

• M&A, acquisitions and disposals
• Investments and joint ventures
• Shareholder and investment arrangements
• Corporate restructurings and reorganisations
• Corporate governance
• Funding and other strategic transactions

Commercial

• Drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial contracts
• Supply, distribution and services agreements
• Technology and IT agreements
• Licensing arrangements
• Data protection and commercial privacy matters
• Terms and conditions and other day-to-day commercial work

A key element of the role will be servicing existing clients, developing trusted relationships and becoming a go-to adviser for their UK legal requirements.

You will have regular contact with senior stakeholders, in-house legal teams and business leaders and will be expected to provide practical advice aligned with their commercial objectives.

About You

We are looking for a solicitor with:

• Strong experience across both Corporate and Commercial law
• Solid M&A and/or investment experience
• Strong commercial contracts drafting and negotiation skills
• Excellent client-facing and relationship-building skills
• Strong commercial awareness and judgement
• The ability to manage matters independently
• Excellent drafting and communication skills
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach

Experience working with international or multinational businesses would be highly advantageous.

Why Join?

This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor who wants to combine high-quality corporate transactions with substantial commercial work and direct client responsibility.

You will work with sophisticated international businesses and household-name organisations, gain significant client exposure and enjoy a broad remit within a growing, entrepreneurial City practice.

The role would suit someone looking to move away from a highly specialised environment and take greater ownership of client relationships and matters.

If you are a Corporate & Commercial solicitor looking for a broader, more client-focused role within a growing City practice, this could be an excellent next step.
