Moore Barlow is currently seeking a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive to join our Corporate Team in Southampton.

More about us:

Formed via a merger in 2020, Moore Barlow is a leading law firm with an aim to be the best law firm to work for regionally. We are a career firm, providing access to high-quality work, long-term career opportunities and an environment built on the premise of being “human first” in everything we do. Put simply, we care as much about your career as you do.

We are featured in The Times’ Best Law Firms 2024 list, and consistently achieve recognition for the quality of our services in the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners, including specific recognition for our Corporate Team.

We are now 450 people, including 280 lawyers and 58 Partners, with offices across the South-East and London.

More about the Corporate Team:

Our specialist Corporate Team has received recognition in both the Legal 500 and Chambers & Partners for their expertise and the quality of service they provide their clients. Our team works with a wide range of clients, predominantly ambitious entrepreneurs and mid-market enterprises, helping them to grow, develop, and succeed by navigating them through the complex legal challenges they may face.

Our team focuses on developing a deep understanding of their client's business and commercial objectives, ensuring they receive tailored and dedicated advice about their matter, whether this is in relation to supporting them with their corporate governance and corporate advisory requirements, [restructuring, disposals, acquisitions and mergers of businesses, , shareholder and partnership agreements or general commercial contracts advice and drafting (and more!)

Day to Day:

As a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive, you will manage your own caseload of mixed corporate matters, taking the lead on transactions and client matters suited to your level of experience. You will also support the Partners on the more complex, higher-value, and protracted matters that they are instructed on, with plenty of scope to take on the day-to-day responsibilities of these matters under supervision. Additionally, our Solicitors play an important role in supporting the less-experienced members of the team as appropriate, including Trainees and Paralegals.

This position will offer you an excellent opportunity for further professional growth and development. You will receive extensive mentoring and support from the Partners in the team as you carve out your reputation as an expert in this area and progress towards a position of greater responsibility within the team.

Intense targets and unsustainable working practices often go hand in hand with being a Corporate lawyer, but it doesn’t have to be that way. We believe that working in a friendly, supportive team that emphasizes work/life balance is possible whilst still attracting and delivering work of outstanding quality, and achieving professional growth and development.

What we look for:

• A qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive, ideally with prior experience handling Corporate Law matters. We would be very interested in hearing from those who purely focus on corporate, as well as those who have more of a mixed caseload but are looking to specialise in this area of law.
• We do not tend to use PQE as the sole measure of experience, but we estimate this position would suit somebody between 0-3PQE.
• You will be calm under pressure, adopt a naturally proactive approach to your work, and have the ability to adapt to changing priorities at short notice.
• We are human-first in everything we do and seek people who share this trait. You will therefore have great communication skills, a passion for helping clients achieve their goals and the ability to think creatively.
• Whilst this position is offered full-time, we offer a split of working from home and in the office, we are a flexible team and are open to considering alternative working patterns.

If you have the required skills and experience and are keen to advance your career as part of our leading Corporate Team, then we strongly encourage you to apply.

If you would like to learn more about this opportunity before applying, please contact Brandon Duchesne, Talent Acquisition Manager, for an informal conversation.
