Job description

Commercial Solicitor | 2+ PQE | Farnborough

An excellent opportunity for a Commercial Solicitor to join a fast-growing, top-tier regional firm where commercial work sits at the heart of the business platform. This role offers exposure to high-value, complex mandates for UK and international clients, without the demands of a City commute.

The Role

You will join a well-established commercial team that works closely with corporate, disputes, employment and data colleagues, advising clients across the full commercial lifecycle.
Your work will include:

• Drafting and negotiating a wide range of commercial contracts, including high-value services, supply, outsourcing and distribution agreements

• Advising on technology-driven, IP-rich and operational contracts that underpin clients' day-to-day businesses

• Supporting corporate transactions with commercial, IP, data-sharing and transitional arrangements

• Working directly with in-house counsel, founders and senior management at client organisations

• Exposure to UK and international projects, including multi-jurisdictional and cross-border matters

The emphasis is on pragmatic, commercially focused advice rather than purely transactional drafting.

About You

This role will suit a solicitor who wants to deepen their commercial expertise in a supportive but ambitious environment.

• 2+ years' PQE with experience in commercial contracts

• Background from a strong regional, national or recognised in-house team

• Comfortable advising on a varied commercial contracts portfolio

• An interest in working closely with corporate colleagues on broader deals and projects

• Confident, client-facing and commercially minded

• Keen to develop within a growing, business-focused practice

What's on Offer

• High-quality commercial work that would not look out of place on a City CV

• Regular exposure to large-scale, often multi-million-pound projects

• An integrated business law platform offering variety and context

• Clear progression opportunities as the firm continues to grow

• Hybrid working with flexibility around core hours

• Competitive salary, bonus structure and comprehensive benefits package

The Firm

This is a full-service, Legal 500-ranked regional firm with a strong reputation for business work and long-term client relationships. The commercial team sits at the centre of the firm's growth strategy, supporting clients ranging from fast-growth entrepreneurial businesses to multinational groups and regulated organisations.

The culture is professional but people-focused, with an emphasis on collaboration, quality and giving lawyers early responsibility and meaningful client exposure.
