Corporate and Commercial Solicitor

Opportunity: Company & Commercial Solicitor - 3+ PQE
Location: Bath (Hybrid & Flexible Working)
Hours: Full time or 4 days a week

Salary: Up to 90,000 DOE

The Opportunity:

Are you a commercially astute solicitor who wants to do high-quality corporate and commercial work without sacrificing your work/life balance?

This is a standout opportunity to join a well-established and growing team at a progressive regional firm, working with a diverse client base - from owner-managed businesses to larger regional corporates - across M&A, restructures, shareholder agreements and commercial contracts.

You'll join a firm that genuinely lives and breathes its values - with clear, proven career progression, flexible working and a supportive culture where you'll be trusted to shape your own career path. Whether you're looking to specialise further, broaden your work or take on a leadership role longer term - the scope is here to mould the role to your strengths and interests.

The Role:

• Handling a varied caseload of company/commercial work including business sales & acquisitions, shareholders' agreements, restructures, and commercial contracts
• Advising SMEs and regional corporates directly, becoming a key contact and strategic advisor
• Working autonomously while also collaborating on larger transactions with the wider team
• Playing an active role in mentoring junior colleagues and contributing to business development
• Helping shape the team's growth and offering across the South West

What We Are Looking For:

• A qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with 3+ years' experience in company and commercial law
• Strong technical ability and commercial acumen
• A confident communicator and natural relationship builder
• Proactive, collaborative and motivated by high standards - but seeking a culture that also values balance

What Is in It for You?

This firm is proud of its clear progression structure - with real examples of Associates progressing to Partner in five years. You'll have support, mentoring and full autonomy to grow.

You can also expect:

• Hybrid working & flexibility across offices
• Sabbatical scheme - a month off after every 5 years of service
• Discretionary bonus scheme
• 25 days holiday + birthday leave + Christmas closure (plus bank holidays)
• Private medical insurance
• Enhanced parental leave
• Paid volunteering days
• Professional development & study support
• Regular team socials and a genuinely supportive team culture

With lower billable targets than commercial firms, the focus here is on quality over quantity and ensuring you have time to switch off and thrive both professionally and personally.
