Company Commercial Solicitor (5+ years PQE)

Join to apply for the Company Commercial Solicitor (5+ years PQE) role at Atkins Dellow Solicitors

Overview

Are you an experienced Company Commercial Solicitor looking for the next step in your career within a forward-thinking, collaborative firm?

If you’re ready to work with ambitious clients across a variety of sectors – and want to do so in a firm that truly values people and ideas – you could be exactly who we’re looking for.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Company Commercial Solicitor with around 5 years’ post-qualification experience to join our growing team. The ideal candidate will be confident advising on a broad range of business matters including:

• Shareholder agreements and corporate structuring
• Mergers and acquisitions
• Commercial contracts
• Business sales and purchases
• Data protection and IP

You’ll be working closely with business owners, SMEs, and investors, offering practical, solutions-focused advice that helps clients grow, protect, and realise the value of their businesses. This is a client-facing role, ideal for someone who enjoys building long-term relationships and taking the lead on transactional work.

You’ll also play a part in developing the practice area – contributing to client development, mentoring junior colleagues, and helping shape the firm’s commercial strategy.

We’re not your typical law firm. We’re a fast-growing, broad-service practice with offices across Suffolk and London, known for delivering first-class legal advice with energy, warmth, and clarity.

Atkins Dellow is home to a down-to-earth team of experts who care deeply about the quality of their work and the people they work with. We combine high professional standards with a refreshingly positive working culture – collaborative, supportive, and ambitious.

You’ll be joining a firm that

• Is genuinely people-first, valuing individuals and their development
• Encourages new ideas and fresh thinking
• Invests in modern tools and processes to support better outcomes
• Offers meaningful career progression in a supportive environment

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years PQE in company/commercial law, ideally with exposure to owner-managed businesses and SMEs
• Strong technical knowledge and sound commercial judgement
• A proactive, client-focused approach with a track record of managing files independently
• Comfortable with networking, Business Development, and working across teams
• Confident in managing files independently and liaising with clients
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• A genuine interest in helping businesses thrive

Working arrangements

• Typically in one of our offices depending on geographical convenience, needs of clients and the team, occasional days from home
• Full-time hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm
• Occasional travel between offices may be required
• Competitive salary and benefits package including private healthcare, life assurance, and enhanced holiday entitlement

We are committed to recruiting on merit and suitability for every role, on the basis of qualifications and experience. All applications are considered fairly and equally regardless of sexual orientation, race, disability, religious beliefs, age and any other protected characteristic. We ensure equal opportunity at every stage of the recruitment process.
