Corporate M & A Solicitor

Salary : £50,000 to £65,000 depending on experience

Rubric Law, a fully remote law firm, are seeking a full-time, permanent Corporate Solicitor.

Rubric Law is a dynamic boutique law firm which has spent the time required to hand pick and nurture its team. This attention to detail has enabled the firm to build a unique set of values by which the entire firm operates. The service delivered is comparable in quality and sophistication to the top 200 firms, however it benefits from a more personal touch.

We are now seeking an ambitious and commercially minded corporate solicitor to facilitate continued growth as we move into 2026.

You will be instrumental in assisting in the continued development and expansion of the corporate department. The role consists of a broad existing caseload including share and asset disposals and acquisitions, shareholder agreements, commercial contracts, partnership and limited liability partnership agreements and bank funding. You will need to be focused on building relationships with clients and introducers and be able to consistently deliver outstanding and straightforward advice to clients. We are offering a competitive salary, excellent holiday entitlement, and private medical cover which offers a range of additional benefits.

Your role will revolve around forging strong relationships with clients and initiators and providing them with clear, outstanding advice. Our exceptional communication charter sets us apart – excellence in communication is vital.

You will be required to live the values of Rubric. You will be happy to work autonomously but within the framework of the firm. You will be an excellent communicator both with clients and your colleagues.

As a boutique commercial firm (13 head count) you will have direct access to all members of the team, including the Managing Director, delivering a superior client service, identifying opportunities and building relationships. You will report to the Head of the Department.

We're an energetic group who are closely connected. There is a flat management structure with the Managing Director actively involved in the development of the team. The work is serious and there is a high output required, but the environment is supportive, fun, and enjoyable.

We operate four practice areas (Real Estate, Corporate, Commercial and Employment) and have acquired a specialist reputation. This, however, is not the end and the firm wants to grow and develop each area of the business into new markets and geographical areas.

• You will have a minimum of 2 years’ experience within corporate law.
• You will be entrepreneurial and confident in your ability to help the department grow.
• You will be professional, personable and approachable.
• You will be highly articulate both verbally and in writing.
• You will enjoy being part of a dynamic team but comfortable working autonomously.
• You will be comfortable with a varied case load in all areas of corporate law.
• You will want to work for an employer that has an appreciation for the level of commitment and work that you put in.
• Our values will resonate and inspire you.

Full-time (Monday-Friday, 37.5 hours per week) role — 9.00am till 5.30pm.

Location – this is a fully remote role with a virtual office in Bristol and a small operations office in Monmouth. The team currently meet on a quarterly basis on the outskirts of Bristol.
