Corporate Solicitor | Newcastle | NQ -  6/7 years + PQE |
An exceptional opportunity to join a thriving corporate team in the heart of Newcastle
Our client, a well-established and respected law firm in Newcastle, is seeking a talented Corporate Solicitor to join their expanding team due to continued growth and success.

The Firm
With a strong regional presence and an impressive client base spanning multiple sectors, they've built a reputation for delivering high-quality corporate legal services with a genuinely collaborative approach. The team of 11 is close-knit, supportive, and ambitious – the perfect environment for a solicitor looking to develop their career alongside excellent practitioners.

The Role
You'll be joining a busy Corporate department handling a diverse and engaging caseload including:
  • Private and public M&A transactions
  • Venture capital and private equity fundraisings
  • Joint ventures and corporate restructuring
  • Corporate governance and compliance matters
  • Capital markets transactions
The firm works across multiple sectors with particular strength in:
  • Leisure and hospitality
  • Construction and engineering
  • Healthcare
  • Technology
  • Media and entertainment
This breadth of work means you'll gain exposure to fascinating clients and challenging, high-quality matters that will genuinely develop your skillset.

What They're Looking For
They're open-minded about PQE level and will consider solicitors from NQ through to 6/7 + years PQE – what matters most is your enthusiasm for corporate work, your technical ability, and your fit with their collaborative culture.
Whether you're an NQ looking for your next step, or a more experienced solicitor seeking a platform for progression, they'd like to hear from you.

The Package
The firm recognises that great people deserve great benefits. Here's what's on offer:
Salary:
  • Negotiable based on experience
Benefits:
  • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays (rising to 28 days after 5 years' service)
  • Performance-related bonuses (paid within the Corporate team)
  • Private Medical Insurance with Aviva (Solicitor to Partner level)
  • BHSF Cash Plan – including GP access, EAP, and reimbursement for dental, optical costs, etc.
  • Life Assurance: 3x salary (rising to 4x after 2 years)
  • Enhanced family leave – maternity, paternity, and adoption pay
  • Employee Assistance Programme – confidential counselling and support services
  • Car parking space (from Associate level)
  • Discounts and perks platform for retail and lifestyle savings

Why This Role Stands Out
? Growth trajectory – you're joining an expanding team, not replacing someone
? Quality work – a genuine mix of sophisticated transactions across interesting sectors
? Supportive environment – a team that values development and collaboration
? Excellent benefits – one of the strongest packages we've seen in the region
? Clear progression – real opportunities to advance your career

Next Steps
This is a rare opportunity to join a firm that's genuinely invested in its people and its growth. If you're a corporate solicitor looking for your next challenge in Newcastle, we'd love to hear from you.
For a confidential discussion about this role, please get in touch.
All applications will be handled with the utmost discretion.
