About Us
Linkilaw Solicitors is a London-based law firm with a global outlook, specialising in cross-border dispute resolution and complex commercial matters. We act for high-net-worth individuals, family offices, entrepreneurs, and international businesses in high-value, multi-jurisdictional cases.
We know that disputes are not only about the legal claim. They often touch on reputations, personal relationships, and strategic priorities. Our work is about protecting what matters most to our clients, with clarity, creativity, and tenacity.
Our culture values independence, initiative, and authentic collaboration. We are a close-knit team that takes pride in being both excellent and human in everything we do.
The Role
We are looking for a full-time Dispute Resolution Solicitor (2+ PQE) to join our team. Russian and/or Ukrainian language skills are highly desirable, as many of our cases involve clients or counterparties from Eastern Europe.
You will work across a range of commercial disputes, sometimes leading on cases and at other times contributing as part of a larger team. The role is hands-on and client-facing, with real opportunities to contribute to the firm’s growth and impact.

- Experience with complex, commercial litigation, ideally with a cross-border element
