  • Assisting with business development activities, networking, and building professional relationships.
  • Supporting and mentoring junior members of the team where appropriate.
Typical Areas of Work

  • Contractual disputes
  • Commercial disputes
  • Debt recovery
  • Property litigation
  • Professional negligence claims
  • Consumer disputes
  • Shareholder and partnership disputes
  • Injunctions
  • Enforcement proceedings
  • Alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including mediation
Essential Requirements
  • Qualified Solicitor in England & Wales.
  • Minimum 2 years' PQE in civil litigation.
  • Strong working knowledge of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR).
  • Experience managing your own caseload with minimal supervision.
  • Excellent drafting, negotiation, and advocacy skills.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving ability.
  • Commercial awareness and a pragmatic approach to dispute resolution.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.
  • High attention to detail and commitment to delivering outstanding client service.
Desirable Experience
  • Experience in High Court litigation.
  • Advocacy experience in interlocutory hearings.

  • Existing professional network or involvement in business development.
  • Experience supervising trainees or junior solicitors.

  • Team player with a collaborative approach.
  • Proactive and self-motivated.
  • Resilient and able to perform under pressure.
  • Strong ethical standards and professional integrity.
Benefits

  • Generous annual leave entitlement.
  • Pension scheme.
  • Private medical insurance.
  • Life assurance.
  • Ongoing professional development and funded training.
  • Clear career progression opportunities.
