Senior Associate Commercial Litigation PQE

The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity exists for a talented commercial disputes and litigation lawyer to join Legal Vision's team in Manchester. We're looking for a Senior Associate with experience in a broad range of commercial disputes, including:

• breach of contract;
• shareholder/director disputes;
• IP infringement;
• breach of confidentiality;
• enforcement of restrictive covenants; and
• debt recovery matters.

You'll gain direct exposure to varied member queries, from straightforward contract issues to complex commercial problems. You'll also handle complex litigation matters and court cases for both members and non-members, giving you comprehensive disputes experience covering prevention advice, litigation and resolution.

The role is perfect for a generalist commercial litigator who has had autonomy over disputes matters, requiring little to no supervision. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to gain supervision/management experience, supervising the work of trainee solicitors.

We'd love for the successful candidate to be based in our Manchester office, but we're happy to consider remote work options, including from London, for the right person.

• Qualified and capable: A 4+ PQE English qualified lawyer with demonstrated experience in assisting commercial clients in England (particularly SMEs), in a range of dispute resolution matters
• Commercially pragmatic:
  Has strong business acumen; understands what clients care about and can think of clever ways to advise clients in sticky situations (whether it be settlement or otherwise)
• Collaborative:
  Gets a kick out of working with smart people and learning from them
• Adaptable:
  Grasps new concepts quickly; goes with the flow; improves every day
• Autonomous:
  Likes help, but doesn't always need it; owns their work; loves responsibility
• Optimistic:
  Sees the best in situations; is solutions focused; never gives up

• Forward-thinking environment with accelerated growth opportunities for high performers
• Welcoming office environment in Ancoats and hybrid/remote working
• 25 days holiday (excluding bank holidays), enhanced maternity pay, plus contractual sick pay, paid volunteering, and birthday leave
• Private medical insurance (post probation)
• Annual budget to spend on external learning and development
• Regular team socials and events

If this sounds like your kind of role, we'd love to hear from you!

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis and will close once the role is filled, so apply early to avoid missing out.
