Job Description:

Corporate Solicitor – Newcastle

Are you a Corporate Solicitor looking to step into a high-quality role with long-term development prospects?

We are working with a prominent law firm with a strong regional and national reputation which is expanding its corporate offering and now seeks a commercially minded solicitor to join a busy and growing team. With flexibility on base location and hybrid working, this is a fantastic opportunity for a candidate who enjoys varied and complex work.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll join a collaborative team advising a wide range of clients on corporate and governance matters. Work will be both advisory and deal-focused, typically including:

Acquisitions, disposals, and investment deals
Shareholder agreements and company reorganisations
Private equity and early-stage investment work
Ongoing advisory work for growth businesses and larger private companies
Opportunities to contribute to public company or listed work (if of interest)
You’ll play a key role on transactions, building trusted relationships and helping businesses navigate major milestones.

What We’re Looking For

We’d love to speak to solicitors who:

Have around 4+ years’ experience in corporate law
Are confident managing transactional work and advising directly
Value quality service, responsiveness, and practical solutions
Want to grow in a supportive and highly regarded team environment
Enjoy working closely with clients in diverse sectors

While corporate deal experience is key, we welcome applications from candidates with a range of backgrounds – whether your focus has been SME deals, private equity, or strategic advisory work.

Why This Role?

You’ll be part of a thriving firm that genuinely invests in its people, culture, and community. The corporate team is well-resourced and consistently involved in headline work across the region and beyond.

Join a strong internal team with access to great training and mentoring
Flexible hybrid working: typically 2-3 days working remotely
Genuine work-life balance and a friendly, open culture
Competitive package and clear path for progression
Broad sector exposure, from fast-growing startups to established national brands

This is a chance to take on high-quality work while maintaining autonomy and balance – without the constraints of rigid hierarchies or unsustainable hours.
