Job Description

Corporate Commercial Solicitor (2+ PQE)
Chesterfield (Hybrid & Flexible Working Available)

Are you a Corporate Commercial Solicitor looking to join a genuinely supportive and down-to-earth firm where your contribution will be valued? We're working with a small, friendly practice in Chesterfield that is looking to welcome a solicitor with at least 2 years' PQE to their close-knit team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to step into an existing caseload and play a key role in its ongoing development, with plenty of scope to grow your expertise and shape your career in a collaborative environment.

The Role
You'll be handling a varied corporate and commercial caseload, including but not limited to:

  • Business sales and acquisitions
  • Commercial contracts
  • Company restructuring and shareholder agreements
  • General corporate advisory work

You'll be taking over work from a previous fee earner, so confidence in managing files independently is important, but you'll also have the support of an approachable and experienced team.

About You

  • Qualified Solicitor with ideally 2+ years' PQE in corporate/commercial law
  • Comfortable managing your own caseload with minimal supervision
  • A proactive and personable approach, with strong client care skills
  • Keen to develop professionally and grow within the firm
  • Team-oriented with a positive, can-do attitude

What's on Offer

  • Hybrid and flexible working arrangements to support work-life balance
  • 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Onsite parking
  • A genuinely friendly, supportive, and close-knit team environment
  • The opportunity to take ownership of a caseload and progress your career

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to move away from a corporate, high-pressure environment into a firm where culture, flexibility, and long-term development are prioritised.
