I'm currently partnered with a forward-thinking, full-service commercial law firm in central Manchester that's looking to add a talented Commercial Contracts Solicitor to its growing team.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a collaborative, dynamic firm with a strong reputation in the SME and entrepreneurial business space. They offer high-quality work, direct client contact, and a healthy work-life balance with hybrid working arrangements (typically 2-3 days in the office).

The Role

• You'll be working on a broad range of commercial contracts matters, advising a diverse client base that spans sectors including tech, retail, manufacturing, professional services, and owner-managed businesses.
• The work is varied and engaging - you'll be drafting, reviewing, and negotiating a range of agreements including:
• Terms & conditions of business
• Supply and distribution agreements
• Agency and franchise agreements
• SaaS and technology contracts
• Service level agreements and consultancy terms
• NDAs and confidentiality agreements
• You'll be encouraged to take ownership of client relationships and will work closely with partners who are approachable, down-to-earth, and highly respected in their fields.

What They're Looking For

• 3+ years' PQE in commercial contracts work (England & Wales qualified)
• Confident drafting and negotiating a range of B2B contracts
• Able to manage your own caseload with appropriate support
• Comfortable working directly with clients, often owner-managed businesses
• A team player with a commercial mindset and great communication skills
• Previous experience in tech/startup sectors would be a bonus, but not essential

Why This Firm?

• Modern, agile firm with a genuine work-life balance
• Great central Manchester office and hybrid working policy
• Collegiate and supportive team with approachable leadership
• Interesting, direct client work from day one
• Competitive salary and benefits package
