MBM Commercial, a law firm with offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and London, is seeking a Corporate Solicitor with one to two years of post‑qualification experience to join its corporate team in Scotland.
Role and responsibilities
The position offers exposure to a variety of corporate transactions. Work will include equity investment rounds, mergers and acquisitions, shareholder arrangements, corporate restructurings, and both start‑up and scale‑up matters. The firm also handles cross‑border deals, often involving U.S. and other jurisdictional issues as clients expand globally.
Applicants will advise founders, investors and companies throughout their growth cycles. The role promises direct client contact early on, allowing junior solicitors to develop practical skills while contributing to high‑value work.
Team members describe the environment as collaborative and supportive. New hires are expected to take on responsibility, build their own networks, and pursue business‑development activities within the firm’s ecosystem.
Candidate profile
The firm looks for candidates who are technically proficient and commercially aware. The ideal solicitor enjoys working with entrepreneurial clients and is comfortable establishing relationships. A collaborative mindset and a willingness to engage in business development are also emphasized.
Applicants must have qualified as a solicitor and possess between one and two years of post‑qualification experience in a corporate practice. Experience in handling complex transactions, especially those with an international element, aligns with the firm’s client base.

While the posting does not list specific educational requirements beyond qualification, candidates should be prepared to demonstrate competence in areas such as contract drafting, due diligence, and regulatory compliance.
Compensation and benefits
The firm offers a competitive salary and benefits package, though exact figures are not disclosed. Additional advantages include the chance to progress within a firm described as one of Scotland’s most innovative legal practices.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Early submissions are encouraged. Interested candidates should forward a CV and current salary details to Leona Wake at the provided email address. All enquiries will be treated with strict confidentiality.
Given the firm’s focus on technology‑sector clients, the role may involve advising companies that are rapidly scaling and seeking venture capital. This context suggests that the solicitor will need to stay current on evolving market trends and financing structures, which could shape the nature of future transactions.
The firm states it is an equal‑opportunity employer, welcoming applications from all suitably qualified individuals regardless of background. The commitment to diversity aligns with broader industry efforts to broaden representation in legal services.
