Corporate Commercial Associate Solicitor / Junior Partner – Northampton

Are you an experienced Corporate Commercial Solicitor looking to take your next career step? Whether you’re an established Associate or a Junior Partner, this is a standout opportunity to join a thriving and forward-thinking law firm with one of the region’s leading commercial teams.

We’re working on behalf of a well-established and highly respected law firm based in Northampton. With a Legal 500-recognised Corporate Commercial department, Lexcel Accreditation, and a strong local and national reputation, the firm continues to go from strength to strength.

The Opportunity:

This role offers the chance to work with a diverse portfolio of local, regional, and national clients. You’ll be advising on a broad spectrum of corporate and commercial matters, including:

• Mergers, acquisitions, and disposals
• Succession planning
• Employee share schemes (including EMIs, EBTs, and EOTs)
• Restructures and demergers
• Finance and governance documents
• Shareholder agreements and partnership structures
• Commercial contracts and franchising arrangements

The firm has a strong team culture, a collaborative approach, and values work-life balance alongside high-quality legal work. There is a healthy pipeline of work and a clear opportunity to grow within the role, contribute to strategic development, and build long-term client relationships.

What We’re Looking For:

We're seeking someone who brings both legal expertise and commercial insight. You’ll be confident in advising on complex matters, able to work independently while also supporting more junior team members, and enthusiastic about business development.

Ideally, you'll have around 8+ years’ PQE and a solid background in corporate and commercial work. However, experience counts more than titles – we welcome interest from those with more or fewer years of PQE, and from both SRA and FILEX qualified professionals.

Why This Role?

• Join the largest commercial law team in Northamptonshire
• Work in a dynamic, award-winning firm with a strong reputation
• Enjoy genuine flexibility and support for work-life balance
• Engage with interesting, high-value work across a variety of sectors
• Be part of a team that celebrates collaboration and individual contribution

If you’re looking for a position that combines professional challenge with a down-to-earth and supportive working culture, we’d love to hear from you.
