A leading national firm is looking to recruit a talented commercial litigator to join its Litigation, Regulatory and Compliance team in Manchester. This is an excellent opportunity for a Senior Associate or Principal Associate who wants to work on complex, high value disputes within a team that is growing and highly respected across the UK.

You will work closely with senior lawyers on major contentious matters and support a client base that includes large corporates, well known household brands and fast growth businesses.

You will work across a broad range of commercial litigation matters, including:

• Complex contractual and commercial disputes
• High value High Court litigation
• Arbitration and alternative dispute resolution
• Cross border and multi jurisdictional cases
• Sector focused disputes in areas such as financial services, technology and real estate

You will take a leading role on files, manage client relationships, supervise junior colleagues and contribute to wider business development.

You will ideally:

• Be a qualified Solicitor with at least 4 years’ PQE in commercial litigation
• Have experience managing complex and high value disputes
• Be confident communicating directly with clients
• Be able to mentor junior lawyers and support their development
• Bring strong commercial awareness and a collaborative approach

Experience in technology related or cross border disputes would be helpful but is not essential.

The litigation group is a key strategic area for the firm and has a clear long term growth plan. The team advises clients across all UK jurisdictions and is regularly involved in international work. With specialists in commercial litigation, financial services disputes, regulatory matters, insurance, competition and technology, the team offers a supportive and knowledge rich working environment.

You will be joining a national practice known for high quality work, modern thinking and a strong, inclusive culture. The firm supports major UK and international clients across a range of sectors and is committed to innovation, flexibility and professional development. Staff wellbeing, collaboration and progression are genuinely prioritised.

• Competitive salary and bonus
• Flexible and hybrid working
• Supportive and collaborative culture
• Access to complex, high profile litigation matters
• Clear progression opportunities
