Job description

Corporate/Banking Solicitor | 2PQE+ | £65k - £75k | Bristol | Hybrid Working

If you're a junior solicitor with a background in Corporate or Banking law and you’re looking for a role where you can stretch your skills, take on meaningful work, and grow in a collaborative environment — this could be your next move.

A Top 200 South West law firm is looking to strengthen its Corporate & Commercial team with a solicitorin their Bristol office. You’ll be working on a varied caseload of banking and corporate transactions, from reviewing and finalising facility, security, and intercreditor documentation to handling pre-completion lender requirements and advising clients on key legal matters. You'll also have the opportunity to work closely with more senior lawyers, mentor junior colleagues, and play a part in shaping the team's direction and business development strategy.

The corporate team is known for its balanced and high-quality workload — think mergers, acquisitions, disposals, restructurings, and regulatory matters — while the banking side regularly acts for both high street and challenger banks, advising on all aspects of secured lending.

This is a full-time role with hybrid working on offer, based in Bristol but with the flexibility to work alongside colleagues across the firm’s other offices.

Expect a competitive salary and a genuinely flexible benefits package that can be tailored to you and your family — including private medical cover, dental insurance, health checks, and more. Add to that a welcoming culture, regular social events, and a modern working environment, and you’ve got a firm that’s serious about both its people and its clients.
