Civil & Property Litigation Solicitor | NQ–2 PQE
£40,000–£60,000 DOE | Beckenham | Hybrid – 2 days office / 3 days home
Are you a newly qualified or junior solicitor looking to build your career in litigation?
Johnson May Solicitors is a growing boutique litigation practice based in Beckenham, recognised in Chambers UK 2026 and 2027 for our work with SMEs.
We are looking for an NQ–2 PQE solicitor to join our civil and property litigation team.
This is an opportunity to develop your litigation career within a friendly, client-focused practice, working closely with the Head of Department while gaining increasing responsibility and direct client exposure as your experience develops.
You will work across a varied caseload including property litigation, landlord and tenant disputes, contractual and business disputes, professional negligence claims and general civil litigation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
The role offers the opportunity to:
- develop your drafting, procedural and strategic litigation skills;
- work directly with clients and build strong client relationships;
- work with Counsel and experts;
- gain increasing responsibility as your experience develops;
- develop your professional network and profile; and
- play a meaningful part in the continued growth of a boutique litigation practice.
Previous civil litigation experience is desirable but not essential. This may have been gained during a training seat, as a paralegal or following qualification. Experience of property litigation, landlord and tenant disputes, contractual or business disputes, professional negligence or debt recovery would also be welcome.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We are particularly interested in meeting someone who is personable, organised, commercially aware and genuinely interested in developing as a litigator.
What we offer
£40,000–£60,000 depending on experience, hybrid working with 2 days per week in our Beckenham office and 3 days working from home, a varied litigation caseload, direct client exposure, junior support and the opportunity to develop your skills and professional profile within a Chambers-ranked boutique practice.
If the opportunity sounds interesting, we would be very happy to have an initial confidential conversation.
