Dispute Resolution Solicitor

Typically in one of our offices depending on geographical convenience, needs of clients and the team, occasional days from home

Are you a confident Dispute Resolution lawyer ready to take on a new challenge?

This is a rare opportunity to be part of building a dedicated Dispute Resolution team within a progressive, full-service law firm. With a strong flow of referrals from across the business and the freedom to shape how we deliver contentious services, this role offers real scope for impact and growth.

We’re looking for a senior-level Dispute Resolution lawyer (around 8+ years’ PQE) to take a leading role in developing our new Dispute Resolution practice. You’ll handle a broad range of contentious matters, typically for business clients, private individuals, and landowners, including:

• Shareholder and partnership disputes
• Property and land disputes
• Debt recovery and enforcement

This role will involve working closely with teams across the firm to take on referrals, deliver commercially sensible outcomes for clients, and help shape the structure and direction of our dispute resolution offering.

It’s ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, is commercially minded, relishes a challenge and will thrive on building something new – with support from an established, forward-thinking firm.

• 8+ years PQE in Dispute Resolution/litigation
• Broad experience across civil and commercial disputes
• Strong technical knowledge and sound judgment
• A proactive, solutions-driven approach
• Confident in managing files independently and liaising with clients
• Eager to help build and lead a new department
• Comfortable working across teams and contributing to business development

• Full-time hours:
  Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 5:00pm
• Occasional travel between offices may be required
• Own car essential
• Typically in one of our offices depending on geographical convenience, needs of clients and the team, occasional days from home on a rota basis
