Corporate/Commercial Lawyer – A Perfect Role for Parents & Professionals Seeking More Balance

A Flexible, Supportive, and Rewarding Opportunity with a Clear Path to Partnership

Are you a Corporate/Commercial Lawyer looking for a role that offers career progression without compromising on flexibility? Whether you’re returning to work after a career break, balancing family commitments, or simply looking for a better work-life fit, this opportunity provides a clear pathway to partnership within a well-established and supportive law firm.

With the option to work part-time (three days a week) or full-time, and only one office day required (Petersfield or Midhurst), this role is designed to help you thrive professionally while maintaining balance in your life.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Progression – A structured path to partnership in a niche and growing team.


• Flexible Work Options – Choose between a part-time (three days per week) or full-time role, depending on what suits your lifestyle.


• Work-Life Balance – Ideal for parents and professionals who want to advance their careers while maintaining flexibility.


• Hybrid Working – Just one day in the office per week, with the rest from home.


• Supportive, Close-Knit Team – Work within a firm where many employees train and progress in-house.


• Generous Benefits – 30 days holiday, Bupa healthcare, plus the option to sell leave if preferred.


• Strong Earning Potential – Competitive salary with an excellent bonus structure.

The Bonus Structure

The firm operates a firmwide bonus scheme rewarding your efforts with significant additional earnings. If billing targets are met, bonuses are paid at two six-month intervals, plus a super bonus for exceeding annual targets, with the potential to earn up to an additional 6% of your annual salary.

About the Firm

A well-established law firm with a strong reputation across Hampshire and West Sussex. With a team of 50, they foster a close-knit and collaborative environment, where many employees train, develop, and progress to senior positions.

Who They’re Looking For

• UK Qualified Solicitor with at least 4 years PQE in corporate/commercial law.


• Experience in mergers & acquisitions, shareholder agreements, commercial contracts, and corporate governance.


• Ability to manage a varied caseload while delivering excellent client service.


• Someone who values flexibility, career progression, and work-life balance.
