For the right candidate, the role comes with a clear path to partnership. FCG, now in its tenth year of trading, established its Legal Services division in 2018. That division now trades as Fusion Law, an SRA-regulated firm working across corporate and M&A, commercial contracts, commercial property, banking and finance, and non-contentious employment.

At least 10 years' PQE, at a level where partnership is the natural next step. A solid M&A track record. The type of firm you are coming from matters less than your ability to run your own deals with little or no supervision.

Senior Corporate and Commercial Solicitor - Bishopsgate Due to extensive growth and multiple acquisitions, Fusion Consulting Group are looking to recruit a Senior Corporate/Commercial Solicitor to join us in our central office in Bishopsgate, Liverpool Street, London. For the right candidate, the role comes with a clear path to partnership. FCG, now in its tenth year of trading, established its Legal Services division in 2018. That division now trades as Fusion Law, an SRA-regulated firm working across corporate and M&A, commercial contracts, commercial property, banking and finance, and non-contentious employment. We do advisory and transactional work; we are not a contentious firm. The firm offers excellent career prospects to somebody who wants to embed themselves as a key player in a small but rapidly growing team. Key Responsibilities You will be working directly with clients and other members of the team across a range of business-to-business practice areas and sectors which include mergers and acquisition transactions, management buy-outs, joint ventures, shareholders, LLP and partnership agreements, corporate lending and restructuring, business terms and conditions and other commercial contracts, sale and purchase of freehold and leasehold commercial properties, leases, refinancing and restructuring, and non-contentious aspects of employment law. This is a senior role within our corporate and M&A team, with a clear path to partnership for the right person. Your work will be primarily corporate M&A alongside general corporate and commercial matters. You will run your own files with minimal supervision and manage and delegate to a small team of junior lawyers. Experience in the nursery, nursing home or dental sectors is an advantage, though it is not essential. The role will require you to supervise other members of the team with their client matters in all aspects of the corporate and commercial work. Running share and asset sales and purchases end to end: taking instructions, drafting and negotiating the SPA and ancillary documents, leading due diligence and disclosure, and seeing the deal through to completion and post-completion. Drafting and negotiating shareholders' agreements, articles, joint venture and partnership agreements, and the full range of commercial contracts (supply, distribution, services, NDAs). Giving clients clear, commercial advice on terms, risk and what to push back on, and telling them what you would do, not just listing the options. Supervising and delegating to junior solicitors and paralegals: allocating work, reviewing drafts, and keeping matters moving to deadline. Taking on a proactive role in the negotiation of key documents and project management of the above types of work (direct client contact will be involved) Creating and maintaining client and referral relationships (attending meetings and calls) Assisting with the generation of new client work Attending events such as firm socials, trade shows and other opportunities Supporting other members of the team with training and mentorship with professional development Using your initiative with self-development, training and development Candidate Requirements You will be required to embrace the values and culture of the firm, and you must be happy to work autonomously but within a collegiate and supportive environment You will need to have the ability to manage several matters concurrently, be comfortable with taking pragmatic decisions on legal risk and be able to empathise with stakeholders in other teams at all levels in the Group. At least 10 years' PQE, at a level where partnership is the natural next step. A solid M&A track record. The type of firm you are coming from matters less than your ability to run your own deals with little or no supervision. The judgement to manage and delegate to a small team of junior lawyers, and the appetite to develop them. Supervise experienced and junior solicitors and paralegals Good attention to detail and sound judgement Strong technical and project management skills Strong communication skills and attention to detail Ability to use your initiative and solve problems independently Ability to manage time well, prioritise effectively and handle multiple deadlines Be enthusiastic and energetic with a team approach to working Be enthusiastic and passionate and have genuine care about the standards of your work You are professional, personable and approachable You are articulate both verbally and in writing You enjoy being part of a dynamic team but comfortable working autonomously You are comfortable prioritising a varied workload Our values resonate with you It is a condition of your employment that you remain on the Roll of Solicitors.

The Firm Montagu Evans is a UK property consultancy that helps clients unlock value from complexity, because that's where the most meaningful opportunities live. Our purpose is to bring clarity, creativity, and conviction to the complex. We are experts who collaborate to create value, not just preserve it and our team is built for impact, not oversight. We specialise in high-value, complex assets across the property lifecycle, where political, technical or commercial challenges demand a joined-up approach. The Team/Department We are seeking a pragmatic and solution orientated commercial counsel to join the Risk & Compliance team at Montagu Evans. As the firm's first internal legal role, the commercial counsel will provide practical legal and contractual support on live matters, bids, appointments and client terms, while also helping to embed a more consistent approach to contractual and legal risk across the business. The role will help build a scalable internal legal capability: creating clear routes for legal review, improving contract guardrails and playbooks, strengthening contractual standards and bringing legal insight earlier into client pursuits, bids and negotiations. The role will sit within Business Services and work closely with fee-earners, the Head of Risk, the bid team, IT and external counsel to improve how the firm reviews, negotiates and manages legal and contractual risk. Role Overview Reporting to the Head of Risk, the Commercial Counsel will provide practical, commercially focused legal support on the firm's agreements with clients, whether on Montagu Evans standard terms or client-side terms. The role will establish a clear legal triage model, review and sign-off guardrails, and standard positions so that contractual matters are handled at the right level based on value, risk, complexity and strategic importance. Where specialist advice is required, the role will act as the conduit between fee-earners and external counsel, managing those relationships and ensuring external legal spend is targeted, proportionate and fit for purpose. The role will work closely with the bid team, providing legal and contractual input on tenders, panels, frameworks and call-off arrangements. It will also help shape the firm's approach to data privacy, technology, AI and data processing by formulating and embedding appropriate practices, controls and contractual safeguards. This is a hands-on advisory role requiring sound legal judgement, credibility with fee-earners and the ability to translate legal risk into pragmatic commercial guidance, advising fee-earners on when to accept proportionate risk, when to negotiate and when to escalate for additional consideration. Responsibilities Establish legal review processes and controls, including thresholds for value, risk, liability, insurance, data, subcontracting, public sector terms and sign-off; Embed the use of AI, automation and legal technology to improve contract review, legal workflows, knowledge sharing and reporting; Improve contract management practices, reviewing internally where appropriate and reducing avoidable reliance on external counsel; Manage external counsel, determining when specialist advice is needed and ensuring support is proportionate, responsive and good value; Educate fee-earners on key contractual safeguards, including liability, scope, payment, indemnities, reliance, data and subcontracting controls; Advise on public sector tenders, panels, frameworks and call-offs, bringing legal insight earlier into bid, pricing and negotiation processes; Design, own and maintain the firm's contract playbook, standard positions, fallback wording, template clauses, escalation criteria and core legal templates, including engagement terms, appointments, reliance letters, NDAs and subcontractor terms; Ensure contract positions align with PI insurance, risk appetite and claims defensibility; Shape data privacy strategy with the Head Risk, including governance, awareness and policy framework; Advise on technology, AI and data contracting, including data use, confidentiality, processing locations and subcontracted providers; Report recurring contract risks, external counsel usage, savings opportunities and process improvements; Work with Finance, Risk & Compliance, IT, HR, bids and fee-earners to ensure joined-up and commercial support to the business; Exercise independent legal judgement, helping teams decide when to proceed, negotiate, escalate or reject terms; and Support the Head of Risk in firmwide special projects from time-to-time, acting as the representative of the Risk and Compliance function when required. Qualifications Qualified solicitor in England and Wales (LPC / SQE) Commercial contract experience, ideally in a professional services setting Experience advising internal stakeholders in a commercial, pragmatic and risk-based manner Experience in real estate, consultancy or public sector contracting would be helpful but is not essential Excellent communicator, both written and verbal, with the ability to explain legal risk clearly to fee-earners and senior stakeholders Commercially astute and comfortable balancing legal protection with client service and practical deliverability Confident managing external legal advisers and assessing whether outsourced support is necessary, proportionate and good value The energy and judgement to improve processes, create useful contract guidance and be a trusted advisor across the business A collaborative, approachable style and the desire to engage directly with fee-earners, bid teams andbusiness services colleagues We recognise that the right candidate may be seeking a flexible working arrangement. Applications are welcomed from candidates seeking a 0.6 or 0.8 FTE part-time role, and from those based in London, Manchester, Edinburgh or elsewhere in the UK, provided they can maintain an effective presence with Colleagues and stakeholders as required.
