Corporate Solicitor

Harper James is a growing, ambitious commercial law firm like no other and we are  recruiting our next Corporate Solicitor.

We champion growing businesses that are starting up or scaling up, enabling them to access top tier legal advice when they need it most. The Harper James model of remote-working lawyers, clever use of technology coupled with unique subscription plans, enables us to provide cost effective business legal services without compromising on quality.

Our model is disrupting the legal services sector and we have experienced consistent and significant year on year growth since we started six years ago. As a team of just over 70 people, we will support over 1,000 clients this financial year. However, notwithstanding our growth so far, we are more ambitious than ever and intend to double the size of our business within the next three years. You will be joining a dynamic but supportive, commercially focused, and integrated team, working in a relaxed but professional environment.

What does the ideal candidate look like?

This opportunity is suited to a corporate solicitor with a strong academic background and experience including private equity, mergers and acquisitions and venture capital transactions.

We have opportunities for solicitors of 2 years plus PQE and there is a partner role for the right candidate.
