At Stephens Scown, every day is what we make it. So we make it matter. Doing notable work for notable clients, building our skills with talented people and having a positive impact on our communities sits at the heart of everything we do.
We don’t just say it, we live it. Our commitment to our people, clients and communities runs through our DNA. We are employee-owned, we are a Certified B CorporationTM, and we are featured in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2026 list – ensuring our culture and ethos of going above and beyond for our people, our colleagues and our communities is recognised nationally.
This is not just another Corporate Partner role.
This is a rare opportunity to establish and shape the future of Stephens Scown’s corporate offering in Dorset, one of the South Coast’s most progressive and entrepreneurial business communities. For the right individual, this is an opportunity to build a practice, develop a team and strengthen your profile in the market.
As part of our wider corporate team, you will have the platform to play a key role in building a thriving practice while benefiting from the reputation and strength of a market-leading firm.
Our corporate team is recognised as a leading corporate practice in the region for its excellence, advising ambitious owner-managed businesses, investors, entrepreneurs and national organisations on complex and high-value transactions. The team is featured in leading legal directories and has received industry awards for the quality of its work and client service.
As the lead Corporate Partner in Dorset, you will have an exceptional opportunity to influence, develop and grow the firm’s presence in the region. With an already established office, strong brand recognition and extensive relationships across the Southwest, there is a significant breadth of opportunity to build a market-leading corporate practice and become the trusted adviser for businesses across Bournemouth, Dorset and the wider South Coast.
Whether your ambition is to build a team, expand your client following, or strengthen your market profile, we’ll provide the support to help you achieve it. You’ll benefit not only from the strength of a market-leading firm, but also our distinctive employee-owned culture, where people are empowered to make a real difference and share in our long-term success. As a certified B Corp, we combine commercial ambition with a genuine commitment to our people, our communities and the environment.
Responsibilities:
We’re keen to speak with ambitious and commercially minded Corporate Partners who can demonstrate:
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who shares our belief that delivering exceptional client service and creating an exceptional workplace culture go hand in hand
Working here is something else entirely. It’s a place where we can step up to tough challenges with people so good they inspire us to be better. We proudly work in a beautiful part of the country, go beyond expectations and achieve things that matter.
We’re the UK’s first major employee-owned law firm. But more than this, we’re people-centred, people-powered. We do what it takes to help each other overcome every challenge. Whatever’s happening in the world, empowering our people is what matters.
Our communities and colleagues give us a lot to be thankful for. So we try to make them feel as valued as our clients. Whether we’re digging deep and giving our time and money, picking up rubbish from our streets and beaches, at Stephens Scown, if it’s right, it matters.
We might have the expertise of a top city firm, but outside our offices there’s not a skyscraper in sight. Whether we’re getting to know our clients on our local beach or having fun in the park with colleagues, we’re all about living a life enriched by work. Making the fun matter.
