Commercial Solicitor | In-house | Chester area (hybrid)
A large, well-known consumer business with operations in the UK and overseas is hiring a Commercial Solicitor into its in-house legal team, based in the Chester area on a hybrid basis.
This is a broad remit for a confident lawyer. You will own your own caseload of commercial agreements while advising the business on the projects that shape it, working directly with senior stakeholders rather than at arm's length.
The remit:
- Drafting and negotiating commercial contracts across supply, technology and brand licensing
- Running your own matters end to end, setting your own priorities
- Advising on new ventures, partnerships and joint ventures as they come through the business
- Guiding teams on advertising and consumer-facing compliance
- Privacy advice and support on contentious matters when they arise
- Acting as first port of call for the day to day legal questions that land from across the group
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Requirements:
- Around six years or more post qualification experience, in-house or in private practice
- A confident contract drafter who can carry a full caseload without close supervision
- Calm under deadline pressure, with genuine care for detail
- Someone who builds easy working relationships across a business, at every level
- Any exposure to privacy, disputes, consumer, brand or corporate work is welcome, though appetite matters more than a checklist
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Equally open to lawyers already in-house and to those in private practice making a first move.
Package:
- £65,000 to £75,000, depending on experience
- Hybrid, three days a week on site once you are settled in
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Generous staff discount scheme
- Subsidised gym membership
- Enhanced family leave and funded study support
Full time preferred, though part time will be considered for the right person.
