Corporate Commercial Solicitor

Our Client's Corporate Commercial team forms part of their multi-faceted Commercial department who offer high quality legal services to businesses and individuals throughout Wiltshire and beyond.

The Commercial department currently comprises of 10 lawyers, including a Professional Support Lawyer, and nine support staff across our seven offices.

Over the last three years the Commercial department has seen its fee income increase by over 20%.

Due to its continuing financial success the Corporate Commercial team, along with the wider department, moved to a new fit for purpose office premises on the outskirts of Chippenham so that it can continue to grow and develop.

This is your opportunity to work in a fast paced, exciting, energetic and agile environment where you will gain valuable experience and exposure to high quality work from a varied client base.
