Opportunity
We are looking for a high-calibre commercial litigator, with a strong academic background, to join our busy, collegiate team and to take a lead role in high-profile cases.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate a breadth of commercial litigation experience. Experience of work in employment litigation would be helpful, but not a prerequisite for this role. We are looking for someone who is a seasoned generalist and is not fazed in picking up roles and areas of law which are unfamiliar.
The successful candidate will work in a small team of associates and senior associates and will take the lead in managing a team, particularly a cohort of paralegals, in respect of the equal pay claims. There will be a considerable amount of autonomy and responsibility from the outset, not only in fee-earning work but through business development activities and promoting the firm.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are a friendly and sociable team, and we support flexible working arrangements.
