Job description

Overview

CORPORATE SOLICITOR | NQ-3 PQE | TOP NATIONAL LAW FIRM | WORCESTER

BCL Legal is delighted to be working with this leading national firm as it seeks to recruit a talented Corporate Solicitor (NQ-3 PQE) to join its highly regarded team in Worcester. This is a standout opportunity to build a broad and high-calibre corporate practice within a unique and fast-growing specialist team.

The Role

This is a varied and fast-paced transactional position at the heart of the corporate team. Working closely with partners, senior lawyers, and subject matter experts, you will advise a diverse client base on both mainstream corporate transactions and specialist areas of compliance, governance and risk.

This team supports businesses with Risk, Investigation, Compliance and Secretarial matters and is central to the firm\'s delivery of high-value transactional work. You\'ll benefit from involvement in:

• Preparing legal due diligence reports tailored to specific deals
• Drafting and reviewing warranties, indemnities, disclosure letters and ancillary documents
• Managing NSIA applications for corporate buyers and sellers
• Providing advice on corporate governance, shareholder agreements, and company structuring
• Responding to technical company law queries and maintaining precedent resources
• Supporting project management of transactions and managing corporate data rooms
• Contributing to post-completion client journeys and compliance audits

This is more than a typical due diligence role, lawyers here take ownership, join client calls, and advise with a commercial lens to truly add value.

The Candidate

• M&A, private equity, venture funding or corporate restructuring
• Legal due diligence and corporate support work
• Drafting commercial or corporate documentation
• Corporate governance and regulatory awareness

This role would suit someone with strong attention to detail, a collaborative mindset, and a genuine interest in helping businesses navigate risk and compliance during complex transactions. Experience with NSIA applications or regulatory reporting is desirable, but not essential.

The Firm & Rewards

This is a leading national firm known for its entrepreneurial outlook, award-winning culture, and commitment to development and diversity. Its Worcester office is home to a dynamic corporate team offering access to top-quality work outside of London.

Benefits include:

• Competitive salary and transparent bonus scheme
• 28 days annual leave + bank holidays
• Private medical insurance
• Scottish Widows pension
• Life assurance
• Electric car scheme
• Gym contributions
• Secondment opportunities (UK and international for 0-5 PQE)
