This is a role that offers exposure to a diverse and high-profile caseload — from complex corporate disputes to matters involving insolvency, arbitration, and contentious probate — with the added distinction of working for a firm that is considered the go-to adviser in the sports sector. In addition to general commercial disputes, the successful candidate will also be involved in high-calibre sports litigation, representing major sporting bodies, clubs, and individuals in disciplinary, regulatory, and reputational matters.

Job Responsibility

  • Managing a varied caseload of commercial litigation matters from inception to resolution
  • Advising clients on dispute resolution strategy and providing clear, commercial legal advice
  • Drafting legal documentation and representing clients in negotiations, mediations, and court proceedings
  • Building strong relationships with clients and maintaining the highest standards of client care
  • Supporting business development initiatives and contributing to the team’s continued success

Requirements

  • 3–8 years PQE
  • Strong technical knowledge across a broad range of commercial disputes
  • A sound understanding of CPR and litigation procedures
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • A commercial mindset and the ability to manage a complex, high-quality caseload independently

  • Generous holiday entitlement plus a firmwide Christmas shutdown
  • Professional Environment
