The firm is seeking a dynamic and driven Commercial Litigation Solicitor to join their accomplished team.

  • Engage directly with clients, opponents, and counsel
  • See cases through to trial

Requirements:

  • Strong experience in High Court litigation
  • Comfortable running cases independently and supporting on larger matters
  • Excellent client-facing skills
  • A team player, keen to work collaboratively with colleagues of all levels
  • If more senior, a complementary specialism or a small client following would be warmly welcomed

Nice to have:

Complementary specialism or a small client following

What we offer:
  • Excellent Prospects
  • Talent is recognised and rewarded
  • Proven track record of developing junior lawyers into trusted advisors
  • Flexibility to secure top talent
