Corporate Solicitor- NQ+

Overview

Corporate Solicitor - Boutique Firm, Top-Tier Work - Manchester city centre (Hybrid Working)
NQ+ M&A, Private Equity & Capital Markets Backed by Leading Advisory Group

We're working with a growing boutique corporate law firm that forms part of a leading UK advisory group with a strong national and international presence. As the team continues to expand, the firm is now looking to appoint a Corporate Solicitor. NQ solicitors qualifying in early 2026 are encouraged to apply.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work directly with a high-calibre leadership team-lawyers with decades of experience at top 50 UK firms-and to gain hands-on exposure to a broad range of corporate transactions in a genuinely collaborative and agile environment.

The Role

• You'll be involved in high-quality corporate work, including:

• M&A (buy-side and sell-side)
• Private equity transactions
• Capital markets and fundraising deals

You'll work closely with senior lawyers from day one, gaining real responsibility and visibility.

Location

Manchester city centre- with hybrid working and flexibility built in.

The Team

• Led by a former partner from a top UK national firm
• Supported by a strong team including associates and paralegals with national firm backgrounds

What Sets This Role Apart

• Boutique Culture, Top-Tier Work - Join a close-knit, supportive team delivering complex corporate transactions in a high-quality environment-without the hierarchy and red tape of a large firm.
• Integrated Deal Flow - As part of a larger advisory group, the firm benefits from a strong pipeline of mid-market transactions, offering consistent deal exposure and the chance to collaborate across disciplines.
• Flexibility & Balance - Whether you're based in Manchester or Greater Manchester, the firm offers flexible hybrid working and a culture that supports individual needs and ambitions.
• Clear Path to Progression - No getting lost in a large team-here you'll work directly with senior leadership, take ownership of your development, and have a real say in your career trajectory.
• Competitive Package - Enjoy a competitive salary, a generous bonus scheme, and a flexible benefits offering.

Who Should Apply

• Solicitors with 0-3 years' PQE (including early 2026 qualifiers)
• A background in corporate or transactional work is ideal.
• Lawyers seeking top-quality work, meaningful progression, and a flexible, friendly working environment

This is a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking boutique firm, delivering City-level work with the agility, flexibility, and culture that many larger firms can't match.
