Senior Commercial Solicitor
Remote (UK-based) | Full-time
We're looking for a senior solicitor who's confident in their judgment, curious by nature, and believes in alternative legal services.
At Lawyerly, we've moved away from billable hours and hidden fees, offering small and medium-sized businesses clear, fixed-fee subscriptions instead. Our clients see us as their in-house legal team, on hand when they need us and proactive when it matters. They rely on us for professional advice, practical thinking, and being a trusted partner they can grow with.
This is a fully remote role for someone based in the UK. You'll work independently but closely connected to a small, focused team. You'll take the lead on client matters, help shape how the firm runs day to day, and play a part in how legal services are delivered in a smarter, more human way.
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.
What you'll be doing
- Providing practical legal advice to SME clients across a broad range of areas (commercial contracts, corporate matters, compliance, employment law, intellectual property, and commercial leases).
- Drafting and reviewing client documents and contracts, and negotiating agreements, helping businesses move forward with confidence.
- Offering proactive legal insight to help clients avoid risk and plan strategically.
- Supporting a mix of clients from different industries.
- Using AI tools to work more efficiently, and helping bring that mindset into how the firm operates more broadly.
- Contributing to firm management and helping shape internal processes as the business grows.
