Description

Commercial Contracts Solicitor NQ – 2 Years’ PQE | Wolverhampton | Hybrid Working (3 Days Office-Based)

The Opportunity An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Contracts Solicitor (NQ–2 PQE) to join a busy, forward-thinking legal team based in Wolverhampton.

This hybrid role (three days in the office) is ideal for a junior solicitor looking to build strong hands-on experience in commercial contracts, particularly buyer-side third-party agreements, within a fast-paced and supportive environment.

You will play a key role in commercial negotiations and contract management, working closely with internal stakeholders and gaining exposure to high-volume, business-critical work.

The Role As a Commercial Contracts Solicitor, you will:

  • Draft, review and negotiate a wide range of buyer-side third-party commercial contracts
  • Manage your own caseload of commercial agreements, ensuring accuracy and timely delivery
  • Advise internal business teams on contractual risk, compliance and obligations
  • Support fast-moving commercial projects with practical, solutions-focused legal advice
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure consistency and best practice across contracts
  • Maintain robust contract records and document management processes

Exposure to intellectual property and data protection matters is advantageous but not essential.

About You You will ideally be:

  • A qualified solicitor (England & Wales) or due to qualify imminently
  • Newly Qualified up to 2 years’ PQE
  • Experienced in commercial contracts, either through a training seat or post-qualification role
  • Comfortable handling buyer-side commercial agreements
  • Commercially minded, proactive, and able to manage a fast-paced workload
  • A clear communicator with strong drafting and negotiation skills
  • Well organised with excellent attention to detail

What’s On Offer

  • Hybrid working – 3 days office-based in Wolverhampton
  • High-quality exposure to a broad range of commercial contracts
  • Early responsibility and the opportunity to develop quickly as a commercial solicitor
  • Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
  • Supportive and professional legal team with a strong focus on development

Why Apply? This is an excellent opportunity for a junior solicitor seeking to develop a solid foundation in commercial contract law within a dynamic, in-house style environment, with real responsibility and the chance to make an immediate impact.

For more information about this outstanding in-house paralegal litigation opportunity, please contact Simon Campbell at QED Legal.
