International Commercial Litigation & Arbitration Associate
London | Associate | c. 2–4 PQE
We are working on an excellent opportunity for a disputes associate to join one of London’s leading international litigation and arbitration practices.
This is a broad role spanning high-value commercial litigation, international arbitration and investor-state disputes, with additional exposure to public international law, EU law and competition litigation.
Litigation and arbitration operate as one integrated practice, allowing associates to work across the full lifecycle of a dispute — from substantive proceedings and interim applications through to hearings, enforcement and related cross-border litigation.
The Work
The team handles complex, high-value disputes for major corporates, financial institutions, investors and sovereign entities. Matters include:

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.
- English and cross-border commercial litigation
- International commercial and investor-state arbitration
- Shareholder, JV, M&A and post-M&A disputes
- Energy, infrastructure, technology and financial services disputes
- Interim relief, jurisdictional challenges and enforcement
- Competition, public international law and sovereign-related disputes
Matters are frequently multi-jurisdictional, with associates working across Europe, the US, Asia, Latin America and offshore jurisdictions.
Why Consider It?
A major attraction is the combination of breadth, advocacy and early responsibility. The team operates with lean case teams and has significant in-house advocacy capability, giving associates meaningful exposure to hearings as well as substantive drafting, evidence and case strategy.

The opportunity offers:
