Senior Commercial Solicitor
Commercial contracts expertise. Practical commercial lease experience. A real opportunity to help shape a growing firm.
Some solicitors want more than a well-established caseload and the same way of working year after year.
They want interesting work, strong client relationships, real ownership and the freedom to contribute to the business around them.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
At Jamieson Law, we advise ambitious businesses through every stage of their journey. Whether they're negotiating key commercial contracts, taking on new premises, buying or selling a business, bringing in investors or preparing for growth, we're the legal team they trust to help them move forward with confidence.
We're a modern, entrepreneurial law firm that combines high-quality legal advice with commercial thinking, responsiveness and great client relationships. We believe in clear advice, finding better ways to work and building a business that is a great place for both our clients and our team.
As we continue to grow, we're looking for an experienced Senior Commercial Solicitor to join our commercial team. Alongside strong commercial contracts experience, you'll need meaningful, hands-on experience of commercial lease matters in England, with the confidence to manage those matters independently.
Why Jamieson Law?
We're building something different.
We've grown quickly, and we're now strengthening our team and developing the support we offer our business clients. This is an opportunity to play an important role in that next stage.

We're fully remote, highly collaborative and embrace technology to help us deliver an exceptional experience for both our clients and our team.
The Role:
You'll sit within our commercial team, with commercial contracts forming the main part of your caseload. You'll also take ownership of English commercial lease matters as they arise, providing continuity for clients who need support with both their business agreements and their premises.
The mix of work will vary with client demand. We need someone who enjoys commercial contracts work and brings enough practical leasing experience to progress lease matters confidently from initial instructions through to completion.
Your responsibilities will include:
Drafting, reviewing and negotiating commercial agreements, including terms and conditions, services agreements, supply agreements, consultancy agreements and confidentiality agreements
Advising on contractual risks, obligations, liability, termination provisions and practical options for negotiation

Advising on agreements for lease, renewals, assignments, underleases, variations and licences, as relevant to the matter
