A leading international law firm is seeking an experienced and ambitious Senior Associate to join its growing Litigation practice in London. This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded solicitor with at least five years of post-qualification experience, specialising in civil fraud, asset recovery, and complex commercial litigation, often with an international or cross-border dimension.

The successful candidate will manage a high-value caseload involving civil fraud, asset tracing, and urgent interim relief applications such as freezing and disclosure orders.

Responsibilities will include drafting pleadings and witness statements, instructing barristers and foreign lawyers, attending court hearings and mediations, and developing strategic client advice.

Strong drafting, analytical, and communication skills are essential, as is a sound understanding of High Court procedures.
