The Opportunity
We are seeking a Litigation Solicitor or CILEX (1-5 year of PQE) to join our Dispute Resolution team. This is an excellent opportunity for a recently qualified solicitor or someone in the early stages of their post-qualification career to develop their expertise across a varied and high-quality caseload within a supportive and collaborative team.
About The Dispute Resolution Team
Our Dispute Resolution team is recognised for delivering high-quality advice across a broad range of contentious matters. We act for businesses, developers, investors, partnerships, landlords, tenants, and private individuals, and we pride ourselves on providing clear, pragmatic, and commercially focused support. You will work closely with experienced colleagues on complex and interesting matters while building your own confidence, technical ability, and client relationships.
The Role
Your work will include a wide range of commercial and general civil litigation as well as property disputes. You will work with partners in the team as well as manage your own developing caseload with appropriate supervision and contribute to the wider success of the team.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Assist with and progressively manage a varied caseload of commercial, general and property litigation matters.
- Advise on disputes including breach of contract, commercial disputes, construction disputes and property disputes.
- Draft correspondence, pleadings, witness statements, settlement agreements, and legal notices.
- Prepare bundles, instructions to counsel, and attend at hearings and mediations.
- Maintain regular client contact and provide clear, practical updates and advice.
- Work closely with colleagues across the firm where disputes arise from wider commercial or property matters.
- Support business development activities, including networking, marketing initiatives, and profile-raising opportunities.
- Keep up to date with legal developments and procedural requirements, including the Civil Procedure Rules.
