A highly-regarded Top 500 law firm with a strong national and international client base is looking to appoint an experienced Corporate Solicitor to join its busy and well-established team based in Stoke-on-Trent.
 
This is an exciting opportunity for a mid to senior-level solicitor (4+ PQE) to join a collaborative, people-focused firm with an enviable reputation for delivering commercially sound, jargon-free legal advice.

The firm is ideally looking for someone who is confident in their technical ability, commercially minded, and happy working independently on deals.
 
Whilst the sweet spot is around 4+ years’ PQE, the team is open to considering more senior candidates at senior associate or even partner level, where appropriate and salary will reflect this.
 
What You’ll Need:

• A minimum of 4 years’ post-qualification experience in corporate law
• Strong technical skills and proven experience handling transactional matters
• A commercial and client-centred approach
• The ability to work both autonomously and as part of a friendly, supportive team

• Low billable target – 4 hours per day
• Friendly, people-first culture where collaboration is genuinely valued
• Opportunity to work on high-quality matters with direct client contact
