Dispute Resolution Solicitor (NQ - 3 PQE)
Derbyshire | Hybrid Working | Regional Law Firm
A highly respected regional law firm is looking to recruit a Dispute Resolution Solicitor (NQ-3 PQE) to join its growing litigation team in Derbyshire.
This is an excellent opportunity for a junior solicitor looking to develop a broad disputes practice, working closely with experienced Partners on complex and varied matters while benefiting from genuine responsibility, client exposure and clear long-term career progression.
The Role
You'll become part of a close-knit and collaborative disputes team, advising a diverse client base across a broad range of contentious matters. Your work will include a mix of:
- Commercial and contractual disputes
- Property and real estate litigation
- Shareholder and partnership disputes
- Injunctions and urgent applications
- Insolvency-related disputes
- Enforcement proceedings
- Business and civil litigation
From day one, you'll have the opportunity to manage your own files with appropriate supervision, work directly with clients, liaise with counsel and become involved in strategically important disputes from an early stage.
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.
About You
Applications are welcomed from Solicitors between NQ and 3 years' PQE with experience in litigation.
Whether your background is in commercial litigation, property litigation or a broader civil disputes practice, this role offers the opportunity to broaden your expertise within a varied and high-quality caseload.
You'll ideally demonstrate:
- Strong drafting, analytical and problem-solving skills.
- A commercial and pragmatic approach to advising clients.
- The confidence to build lasting client relationships.
- A proactive attitude and willingness to take ownership of your work.
- A genuine ambition to develop within a collaborative and supportive team.
Experience working with rural businesses, agricultural clients or countryside-related matters would be advantageous, but is by no means essential.
The Opportunity
This firm has earned an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality legal advice while maintaining a genuinely supportive and approachable culture. Unlike many larger practices, you'll enjoy early responsibility, meaningful client contact and the opportunity to develop into a well-rounded disputes lawyer.
