Litigation Solicitor (NQ - 5 PQE)
Staffordshire | Competitive Salary + Excellent Benefits
Are you looking for a litigation role that offers genuine variety, high-quality work and the opportunity to develop your career within a supportive team?
I'm working with a well-established and highly regarded law firm in Staffordshire that is looking to appoint a Litigation Solicitor (NQ-5 PQE) to join its growing Dispute Resolution team.
This is an excellent opportunity for a solicitor who enjoys working across a broad spectrum of contentious matters rather than specialising too early. You'll benefit from a collaborative environment, direct client contact and exposure to a diverse client base of individuals, SMEs and businesses across the region.
The Opportunity
You'll manage your own caseload with the support of experienced colleagues, advising clients on a wide range of civil and commercial disputes. The work is varied, interesting and offers excellent exposure across multiple areas of litigation.
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.
Your caseload is likely to include:
- Contractual and commercial disputes
- Property and landlord & tenant disputes
- Contentious probate and inheritance claims
- Professional negligence matters
- Debt recovery and consumer disputes
- Shareholder and business disputes
- Injunctions and possession proceedings
- General civil litigation, including neighbour disputes, insurance claims and fraud-related matters
No two days are the same, making this an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys a broad practice and wants to continue developing their technical expertise.
About You
We're keen to speak with Solicitors from NQ through to 5 years' PQE who have experience in litigation and are looking to build their career within a respected regional firm.
You'll ideally have:
- Experience handling a range of litigation matters (or a strong litigation seat if newly qualified)
- Excellent communication and client relationship skills
- A proactive and commercially minded approach
- The ability to work collaboratively within a close-knit team
- A genuine desire to develop your career in dispute resolution
