Corporate Associate – 3-5PQE – Bournemouth

I’m working with a well-established, reputable Bournemouth based law firm, looking to speak with an experienced Corporate/Commercial Solicitor to join their growing team.

Ideally, you will have 3-5 years’ PQE, and a strong background in corporate law, with additional experience in commercial law being highly desirable. The vacancy has come about due to continuous growth, with the team having just taken on an NQ.

You will be working on non-contentious corporate matters, including M&A, joint ventures, shareholders’ agreements, articles of association, corporate transactions, partnership agreements, and business reorganisations (often within the context of private client tax planning). It will be a range of mainstream corporate and commercial matters. The matters range in value, from £100K to £12M, and links to the entertainment sector and coastal businesses.

If you are a motivated and driven professional, is eager to contribute to the growth of the firm and establish yourself with achievable senior leadership opportunities, this could be for you! Progression is well-structured within the firm, offering Senior Associate roles at 5PQE, and a clear pathway to partnership after 8PQE, with both fixed share and full equity options.

The firm has a great reputation for excellent client care and an energetic, hardworking culture, with a young and dynamic team. It offers a competitive salary for the region, and operates a highly hybrid working model, offering flexibility alongside a collaborative office environment. The firm prides itself on career development and long-term investment in its people.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing firm with a clear career trajectory, high-quality work, and a vibrant culture. If you are a motivated corporate and commercial solicitor looking to take the next step in your career, this could be the perfect role for you.
