The Opportunity

We are thrilled to be partnered with a company that is spearheading innovation within their industry and experiencing rapid growth. This is an exciting opportunity for a Commercial Solicitor who's ready to make major gains in their career, joining an established and expanding in-house legal team that is central to the company's continued success.

You'll work closely with internal and external stakeholders on a wide range of commercial contracts-many of which are high-value, strategically significant agreements-providing expert legal support as the business scales. This role will involve close collaboration with the technology team, supporting legal aspects of tech-driven projects and helping to ensure commercial arrangements align with strategic goals.

What You'll Be Doing

• Drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a wide variety of high-value commercial contracts.
• Providing commercially focused legal advice across departments and to senior leadership.
• Managing relationships with external advisors and key business partners.
• Identifying and mitigating legal and commercial risk in a fast-paced, growing environment.
• Supporting compliance, governance, and process improvements as the legal team evolves.

What We're Looking For

• A qualified solicitor with experience in commercial law.
• Proven background in drafting and negotiating commercial agreements.
• Experience working on high-value or complex contracts is highly desirable.
• A confident communicator who thrives in a collaborative, stakeholder-facing role.
• Self-driven, organised, and excited to grow with an ambitious business.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Salary of £50,000 - £60,000 depending on experience
• Private health cover - including options for family and friends
• Excellent annual leave allowance
• Hybrid working model that supports flexibility and balance
• Outstanding career development and progression opportunities
• Be part of a growing legal team with influence across the organisation
• Join a business with a strong, inclusive, and forward-thinking culture
