Who we are looking for
We're looking for a talented Commercial Litigation Solicitor/Associate (NQ-5 PQE) to join our growing team. You'll have a strong academic background, experience at a national or leading regional firm, and a genuine enthusiasm for developing your career whilst delivering high-quality work in a supportive and collaborative environment.
You'll have broad commercial litigation experience, including dealing with an SME/OMB client base, with confidence supporting senior litigators on complex matters and managing your own caseload of smaller matters with appropriate supervision.
Strong communication and client relationship skills are key. You'll be responsive to clients' needs and urgent requirements whilst maintaining a sustainable work/life balance. Collaboration is at the heart of the role, and you'll enjoy building strong relationships with clients and colleagues across the firm. You'll also play an active part in the continued growth and success of both the team and Myerson as a whole.
The role will also provide scope for you to be involved in practice development, not only for the department, but also for the other legal services offered by the firm.
