In-House Solicitor

Overview

Commercial Solicitor – Commercial Contracts / Corporate / Banking / Investment Management - But Something Different!

Are you aspiring to be a lawyer that is at the heart of a growing business? Do you have a strong interest in commercial, corporate, banking or investments areas? Do you want to work amongst some of the largest financial services institutions and businesses across the world and work collaboratively with leading lawyers in this field?

In-House Legal Solutions is an international, entrepreneurial and friendly legal services business disrupting the legal industry. We like to do things differently - we champion wellbeing and empower our team to add true value.

We specialise in providing a fully outsourced "in-house legal team" to legal and business teams at an impressive list of global and UK based businesses and financial institutions. Our team and clients are global, as we operate in Europe, Asia-Pacific, Canada, UAE and the U.S. Our clients are in industries across broad sectors including TMT, software, media, marketing, accountancy, financial services, airports, pharmaceutical, professional services and beyond.

We were delighted in 2022 to win "Outstanding Law Firm (Non-Contentious)" Award in the Liverpool ADLA event and Innovation Winner for "Business of the Year" (under 30 employees) in the Liverpool Chamber awards and are nominated for Law Firm of the Year 2025 in the Women & Diversity in Law Awards!

We have fantastic modern offices in central Liverpool (with a roof-top bar!) and will soon be opening our Manchester offices. We offer remote working options for those not living in the North West. Our team members are mostly located in our Liverpool base however we have lawyers in London, UAE, the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. Our North-West team have the option to work on a hybrid basis with "anchor" days in the office.

We have a true focus on corporate social responsibility, ESG, pro bono, mental health in the workplace, promoting social mobility in the legal profession, supporting neurodiversity in the workplace and actively encouraging diversity and inclusion in our team. We embrace legal tech and AI, developing and implementing legal tech solutions and automation for our team and clients. Check out our social media pages for updates and you could play a part in developing each of these.

We are growing rapidly, which means we are recruiting ambitious solicitors to join our team who are bright, proactive and up for the challenge of scaling a growing business. Most lawyers are employed directly by us and work as part of our close-knit team, though we have options for those who want the flexibility to contract with us on a legal consultancy basis.

What we are looking for:

We are growing rapidly, bringing in new clients to add to our already impressive client base and launching new service offerings. To help us do this we would be delighted to speak to solicitors with commercial contracts and/or in-house experience at any level, from NQ up to any year of PQE, who are proactive and up for the challenge that being part of a dynamic business brings.

A commercial solicitor would work in the External Legal Team Solution area of our business, to provide extra capacity to existing in-house legal teams in large businesses or to provide a complete solution to a business who do not have their own dedicated in-house legal resource. An experienced in-house solicitor may provide a General Counsel role or roles, including on a fractional basis.

Solicitors would also have the opportunity to be involved in our Transaction Support Solutions area, where we specialise in financial services and assist our clients with the negotiation of commercial agreements arising out of a range of M&A, investments and debt transactions, such as confidentiality agreements, engagement letters for the provision of services, and more specific transaction documentation. We are looking for a commercial lawyer who is confident dealing closely with high profile clients.

The role for a more senior lawyer involves close supervision of our paralegal, trainee, apprentice and junior solicitor…
