Description

I am currently working with a highly regarded and award-winning corporate and commercial team that's continuing to grow and is now looking to bring in an experienced Corporate Transactional Solicitor (4+ PQE). This is a full-time opportunity to join a supportive, high-performing team with an established client base and plenty of quality work ready to go.

This role would suit someone who enjoys getting stuck into proper corporate transactional work and wants to be part of a team where collaboration and progression are genuinely encouraged.

What the role looks like

You'll be working on a wide range of high-quality corporate matters, including:

  • M&A transactions
  • Corporate restructuring and refinancing
  • Corporate and banking transactions
  • Shareholder agreements and corporate governance documents
  • Employee share schemes, EOTs and transactional work for charities and social enterprises

There's a strong pipeline of work, including multi-million-pound transactions, and you'll be trusted to run matters with minimal supervision.

Who they're looking for

  • 4+ years PQE in corporate and transactional work
  • Solid experience of corporate and banking transactions
  • Comfortable managing matters independently and hitting fee targets
  • A genuine team player who enjoys supporting colleagues
  • Confident communicator with clients in meetings, on the phone and in writing
  • Ideally some connection to Sussex, Kent and/or Surrey

Why this role is worth a look

  • Join an award-winning, high-achieving team
  • Immediate access to high-quality work from an established client base
  • Real opportunity to build a long-term career in a supportive environment
  • Exposure to complex, interesting transactions across a variety of sectors
  • Full-time position based in Eastbourne

This is a great opportunity for a corporate solicitor who wants to step into a busy, ambitious team, work on standout transactions, and really carve out their career in a supportive setting.
