Senior Associate - Commercial Law (Generalist)
A different kind of legal role at a different kind of law firm
Our client is not your typical law firm - they're a forward-thinking, people-focused practice, built around the belief that commercial law can be practical, empowering, and even enjoyable.
With a thriving and diverse client base, a collaborative team culture, and a reputation for straight-talking legal advice, we're looking for a commercial law generalist who's ready to step into a role with real impact.
Ideal Individual
- A principled, capable commercial lawyer with at least 5 years of post-admission experience in drafting, advisory, and negotiation
- Naturally collaborative, with a leadership mindset and a genuine interest in mentoring and supporting your colleagues
- Confident managing client matters end-to-end and excited by the chance to build meaningful client relationships
- Energised by fast-paced work and complex problem-solving, but still value balance, perspective, and a laugh at the right moment
- Ready for more clarity in your career path, more control over your future, and a work environment where you're trusted and respected
- A strong communicator who brings both empathy and pragmatism to your practice
The Role:
As a Senior Associate, you'll play a leading role within our client's Commercial team, overseeing client matters and supporting the development of junior lawyers.
You'll be a trusted advisor to a wide-ranging client base, from publicly listed companies and family offices to fast-growth SMEs, and an integral part of the leadership group.
Key Responsibilities Include
- Leading complex commercial matters and supervising a small team of lawyers and graduates
- Taking clear, strategic client instructions and translating them into smart, commercial outcomes
- Reviewing, drafting, and negotiating a wide range of commercial agreements (leases, licences, terms & conditions, service agreements, etc.)
- Supporting corporate transactions through due diligence and commercial drafting
- Advising on commercial risk and negotiation strategy
- Mentoring team members and helping shape a strong, supportive team culture
- Contributing to firm-wide initiatives and our continued evolution as a modern legal practice
This role reports to the Director and plays a key role in both client delivery and team development. You'll have the autonomy to lead matters while being supported in growing your own practice and professional development.
What's On Offer
This is a place where legal professionals come to do great work and enjoy doing it. Our client offers genuine flexibility, transparent career growth, and an inclusive culture where your contributions are seen and valued.
Some Of The Benefits Include
- Highly flexible working arrangements and balanced face time
- Regular wellness initiatives (pilates, yoga, meditation, psychology support)
- Performance coaching and mentoring
- A collaborative, kind, and capable team environment that's refreshingly ego-free
