Barnes Law is growing, and we are seeking an experienced Partner to join our team and play a central role in shaping the firm's continued expansion.
About Barnes Law
Barnes Law is a firm of solicitors with a solid background in dispute resolution, covering litigation, arbitration, banking, corporate, and commercial disputes. We act for a diverse client base, from individuals to corporates and financial institutions, on complex, often cross-border matters. As demand for our services grows, we are investing further in our team and our firm.
The Opportunity
This is a genuine opportunity to step into a Partner role with real autonomy, the backing of a full-service firm, and the scope to build and grow your own practice within an entrepreneurial, collegiate environment. We welcome both established practitioners with an existing client following, and strong candidates in the earlier stages of developing their own practice who can demonstrate technical excellence, business acumen, and clear ambition.
What You'll Do
- Lead and develop your practice area as part of the firm's strategic growth:
- Act on complex, high-value matters, working directly with clients from instruction through to resolution
- Manage and mentor a team of solicitors, trainees, and support staff
- Originate and develop new client relationships, building on existing networks
- Contribute to the firm's business development, market profile, and thought leadership (publications, seminars, industry events)
- Work collaboratively with colleagues across the firm to deliver a joined-up service to clients
- Play a role in shaping firm strategy, culture, and future growth
