A new opportunity has arisen for a Solicitor with at least 3 years PQE to join our General Litigation Department. You will work closely with and provide support to the Head of Department, dealing with complex and interesting cases. To be successful for this role you will ideally have had plenty of exposure to general private client litigation but we are open to hearing from you if you are practicing in a specialist area which may fit well along-side a more general split of work. You will need to present a professional image at all times to clients and collaborators, be well presented, confident and have first class communication skills. You will be hard working and able to work to tight deadlines. The position is based in Newark but will involve some travel to all of our other offices. We are open to discussion about alternative office locations in due course.
