Commercial Litigation Solicitor
Location: Manchester
Salary: Competitive (DOE)
A well-regarded Legal 500-ranked commercial firm in Manchester is looking to strengthen its dispute resolution team with a solicitor ready to take real ownership of their caseload. The team handles genuinely high-quality commercial disputes for business clients, and this hire is about giving the right person a clear step up in responsibility within a supportive environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Running your own caseload of commercial disputes, with senior support available rather than close supervision
- Playing a full part in substantial, higher-value litigation alongside experienced colleagues, involved at every stage of proceedings
- Advising business clients directly and giving practical, commercially grounded advice
- Attending mediations and settlement meetings
- Contributing to the team's profile and growth through business development appropriate to your level
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 caseload spans shareholder disputes, insolvency-related litigation and contractual claims, offering breadth across mainstream commercial work.
About You:
- Qualified Solicitor with solid commercial litigation experience
- Ideally 3-6 years PQE, though all levels able to demonstrate the required skills will be considered
- Strong technical grounding and confidence dealing with business clients directly
- Commercially aware, proactive, and keen to build a practice rather than simply service files
