Solicitor​/Associate PQE Midlands

About The Role

Commercial Solicitor (NQ – 3 Years PQE)

Midlands - Leamington, Birmingham or Worcester

Build your commercial law career with a team that is growing, ambitious and genuinely supportive.

At HCR Law, we're looking for a talented Commercial Solicitor to join our team in the Midlands. This is an exciting opportunity for a newly qualified solicitor through to someone with around three years' PQE who wants to work closely with an experienced Commercial team.

You'll become part of a collaborative team that advises a broad range of businesses, from established manufacturers and retailers through to growing entrepreneurial organisations. No two clients are the same, which means no two days are either.

This role offers the chance to develop a strong foundation in high-quality commercial law while enjoying the flexibility to shape your future specialism.

You will advise clients on a wide range of commercial matters, building trusted relationships and helping businesses navigate their legal and commercial challenges. At the same time, if you have a particular interest in an emerging or specialist area such as data protection, competition law, consumer law, AI and technology, or another niche within commercial law, you'll have the freedom and support to develop that expertise as part of our growing practice.

This is an excellent role for someone who enjoys variety, wants direct client exposure from an early stage and is interested in helping to shape the future direction of a growing commercial team.

• Advising businesses on a broad range of commercial contracts and day-to-day business matters
• Supporting clients across a variety of sectors including manufacturing, retail and other growth industries
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships
• Working closely with colleagues across the wider firm to deliver practical, commercial solutions
• Developing expertise in specialist areas of commercial law that align with your interests and our clients' needs
• Contributing to business development and the continued growth of the commercial team

We're interested in hearing from candidates who are:

• Newly qualified up to 3 years' PQE
• Experienced in commercial law or have undertaken a commercial seat during their training contract
• Commercially minded and able to provide practical, solution-focused advice
• Keen to be part of a collaborative and growing team
• Interested in developing a long-term career in the Midlands market
• Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is enthusiastic, ambitious and excited by the prospect of helping to build something for the future.

As a Top 50 UK law firm, HCR combines the quality of work and client base you would expect from a national practice with the culture, accessibility and support of a regional firm. Our commercial team has built a strong reputation within the local business community and continues to grow, with collaboration, client service and people development at the heart of everything we do.

This is a chance to join a team where your ideas will be welcomed, your development will be supported and your future specialism can be shaped around your interests and ambitions.

If you're looking for a role that offers quality work, genuine career development and the opportunity to help grow a successful commercial practice in the Midlands, we'd love to hear from you.
