Kent | Salary Generous | Flexible Working | Excellent Career Development
A Corporate/Commercial Solicitor at the beginning of their qualified career has an excellent opportunity to gain broad experience within an established Kent legal practice.
The position offers exposure to a genuinely varied mix of corporate and commercial work rather than restricting the successful candidate to one narrow area.
With a competitive starting salary, flexible working and opportunities to progress, this could provide an excellent platform for an ambitious solicitor looking to build their corporate and commercial career.
About the role

  • Shareholder agreements
  • Supply agreements
  • Intellectual property matters
  • Data protection and GDPR
  • General corporate and commercial advisory work

There will be opportunities to work alongside lawyers from other specialist departments, providing broader commercial exposure and experience.
As the successful candidate develops, they will be encouraged to take increasing ownership of matters and build confidence working independently.
What we are looking for
Applications are welcomed from Solicitors at NQ level and above.
The successful candidate should demonstrate:

  • Relevant corporate and/or commercial experience gained during training or post-qualification
  • Strong commercial awareness
  • A mature and professional approach
  • Excellent attention to detail
  • Confidence communicating with business clients
  • The ability to manage competing priorities
  • An appetite for responsibility
  • The ability to work independently as experience develops
  • A collaborative approach when working with colleagues
  • Ambition to develop a long-term corporate and commercial career

What’s in it for you

  • Salary generous + benefits package, dependent upon experience

  • Support with work-related travel/parking costs
  • Established and experienced colleagues
  • Broad exposure to corporate and commercial matters
  • Cross-departmental working
  • Opportunity to develop greater autonomy
  • Genuine career progression

The successful Corporate/Commercial Solicitor will join an experienced team and have the opportunity to work with colleagues from complementary legal disciplines.
The environment would particularly suit someone who wants breadth of experience, responsibility and the opportunity to develop rather than being restricted to one type of transaction.
