Your New Firm
Read on to fully understand what this job requires in terms of skills and experience If you are a good match, make an application. You'll be joining a respected and ambitious firm known for its high-quality work, supportive culture, and strong reputation in commercial and intellectual property law. The team has an impressive and loyal client base, including well-known brands and fast-growing technology businesses, and is committed to delivering clear, commercially focused advice. The firm genuinely invests in its people, offering a collaborative environment, excellent training and progression opportunities, and the flexibility needed to maintain a healthy work-life balance. With continued growth across its commercial and IP offering, this is an exciting time to join and play a key role in the team's ongoing success.
Your New Role A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a talented Commercial & IP Solicitor to join a growing and forward-thinking team. You'll work with an impressive client portfolio ranging from household-name brands and innovative technology companies to manufacturing, retail, and other consumer-focused businesses. You'll advise on a wide variety of commercial and intellectual property matters, with increasing exposure to cross-border projects. Day-to-day work will include drafting, negotiating, and advising on commercial agreements such as supply and distribution contracts, licensing arrangements, technology and software agreements, and high-value service contracts. You'll also gain meaningful involvement in IP-related work, including brand protection, licensing, IP strategy, and advising on IP considerations within wider commercial transactions. Whether your background is predominantly commercial or more IP-leaning, this role offers an excellent opportunity to deepen and broaden your expertise across both disciplines.
What You'll Need to Succeed You will be a qualified Solicitor with approximately 2-5 years' PQE in commercial and/or intellectual property law. Experience gained at a Legal 500/Chambers-ranked firm or within a high-quality in-house environment is highly desirable. You should bring strong technical skills in commercial contracts, with demonstrable experience drafting and advising on a broad portfolio of agreements. Experience in IP protection, licensing, or advising on IP aspects of commercial transactions is advantageous, but candidates with strong commercial backgrounds and a genuine interest in developing IP expertise are equally encouraged. You will be proactive, commercially minded, and confident managing your own workload. Strong communication and client-facing skills are essential, along with the ability to build trusted relationships and deliver clear, practical, solutions-focused advice.
What You'll Get in Return You'll join a friendly, supportive, and ambitious team within a firm that values high-quality work, collaboration, and long-term career development. The firm offers flexible hybrid working, defined core hours, and autonomy around start and finish times. You can expect a competitive salary, a generous fee-earner bonus, free on-site parking, and a comprehensive benefits package including pension, enhanced family-friendly leave, 25 days' holiday plus Christmas closure. This is a fantastic opportunity to build your expertise and progress your career within a team that prioritises learning, development, and genuine work-life balance.
