Spirehouse are recruiting a locum Property Litigation Solicitor on behalf of a well-regarded law firm in Derbyshire, with a view to a permanent appointment for the right individual.
The Opportunity
This locum appointment covers new litigation instructions while the firm recruits for a full-time vacancy.

Matters can reach the High Court; counsel is instructed where appropriate.
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.
The role requires genuine ownership of files from the initial client meeting through to resolution. Some office attendance in Derbyshire is required, with occasional client meetings in Staffordshire. Hybrid working is available, but the role is not suited to fully remote working.
Locum hours are open to discussion.
Requirements
- Qualified Solicitor with strong property litigation experience
- Able to take ownership of matters independently and engage confidently with clients from the outset
- Comfortable handling complex, high-value disputes including High Court proceedings
- Experience in partnership or business disputes is useful but not essential; familiarity with rural or agricultural matters is an advantage
