Job description

Corporate Associate / Senior Associate | 4-10 PQE - Worcester | Top Tier Regional Firm

A leading national firm with a top-rated corporate team is seeking a talented and commercially minded Corporate Associate or Senior Associate to join its unique and growing team based in Worcester.
This is a rare opportunity for a corporate solicitor to take on a fast-paced, advisory-focused role, working within a collaborative team that plays a vital part in supporting clients with Business Risk, Investigation, Compliance, and Secretarial matters.

The Firm

This highly regarded firm is well known for its entrepreneurial spirit, supportive culture, and high-quality work. With a strong national presence and significant regional reach, the firm continues to expand and invest in its people. It offers genuine career progression and excellent benefits within a dynamic and forward-thinking environment.

The Role

You will work closely with the Head of this team and support junior members of the group. The day-to-day work will include:
· Corporate due diligence for acquirers, vendors, and investors
· Corporate governance and regulatory compliance matters
· Share history analysis and rectification
· Supporting corporate transactions through risk and compliance-focused advice
· Assisting clients in ensuring Companies Act compliance

While the team operates in a corporate environment, the focus is largely advisory-offering a lower-pressure alternative to pure transactional roles, without compromising on the quality of work or client base.
This is a predominately office-based role in Worcester (4-5 days per week), offering close collaboration with colleagues and deep integration with the wider corporate team.

The Candidate

The ideal candidate will:
· Have 4-10 years' PQE in corporate law, ideally within a strong regional, national, or international firm
· Possess strong investigatory skills, technical knowledge, and excellent attention to detail
· Be comfortable analysing corporate records and advising on compliance and regulatory matters
· Enjoy working collaboratively in a supportive and growing team
· Have a commercial mindset and an interest in a non-traditional corporate role

The Rewards

This is an excellent opportunity for a corporate solicitor seeking a different path-one with meaningful work, great clients, and a strong work-life balance. Highlights include:
· Attainable hours target (c. 5 hours per day)
· Competitive salary and bonus scheme
· Private medical insurance and income protection
· Electric vehicle scheme and gym membership contribution
· 27 days' holiday + bank holidays
· Clear development path and ongoing support

If you're a corporate lawyer looking for something different, where the pace is healthy, the work is stimulating, and the team is behind you, this could be the perfect move.
