Let’s start at the beginning. About us: We are a medium-sized, independent law firm based in Reading and we’re looking for three different roles for you to join our team. Joining FSP This is an exceptional opportunity to become a part of a friendly yet ambitious law firm where you can develop your career as a general commercial lawyer whilst working on a caseload of high-quality work. At FSP we are particularly well known for our welcoming and supportive culture and you can be confident you’ll be looked after throughout your career. We will expect you to work as a part of a team and provide support to your colleagues to enable you, and them, to have a healthy work-life balance. We are passionate about supporting our local community and hold a number of charitable and social activities across the team and wider firm throughout the year. You may also have opportunities to contribute to the FSP Foundation - a separate independently run organisation, which utilises funds from the firm and fundraising activities to support local charities. We are very proud of our Family FSP ethos, which is core to our culture and the reason we have been awarded Investors in People Gold. Commercial Solicitor vacancy (4 years PQE plus) The role This role is based within our Commercial team, but will require you to work closely with the wider Business Services Team on business development activities. We would expect a strong background in a wide range of commercial contract, intellectual property and data protection work. We can flex the role to take into account any specialisms or areas of expertise that you have or wish support to pursue. A strong successful candidate would have the opportunity for fast progression and potentially partnership in due course.

You will be willing to engage in peer-to-peer discussions on more complex matters and in supporting and developing more junior members of the team. We act across a wide range of sectors, but have particular expertise in technology and automotive industries. Our clients range from large international corporations to owner managed businesses to start-ups and scale-ups. We accordingly require someone who can tailor their approach and presentation to the individual client. We require a highly developed sense of commercial and practical acumen – our clients are looking for real world solutions, not “perfect” theoretical answers. Being able to bridge the gap between what would be ideal legally, and what will work in practical terms is essential to success in this role We are a growing team and firm and will expect you to be involved in a range of marketing and business development activities. We encourage solicitors to take a proactive role in building relationships with their clients and professional contacts and establishing their own network. This may include presenting webinars or seminars, attending networking events, writing articles, LinkedIn engagement, client visits or meetings, and building internal relationships within the firm. This is a rare opportunity for somebody to progress their career and help build a practice in a hugely supportive environment.
