The Opportunity

Exciting opportunity for an experienced litigator to join a progressive specialist litigation team and be involved in an interesting mix of dispute resolution matters. They are now looking for a senior that can bridge the gap between the partners and intermediate/juniors, with experience dealing with contractual disputes, insolvency, construction, civil litigation, consumer law and defamation, regulatory disputes and other commercial disputes.

You will be someone who enjoys variety in a role and being immersed from start to finish on complex litigation files. The role will see you working with a high degree of file management and client management responsibilities, with the support of juniors. If you enjoy going to court, then this role will have matters before mediation, High Court, COA and DC. 

The firm has family friendly working hours and a social team environment. 

About you:
  • 8+ years' PQE in litigation (a broad mix of civil and commercial litigation experience would suit);
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with an ability to cut through issues and problem solve;
  • Experience gained in a reputable firm and/or in-house legal environment.  
Perhaps you're feeling that you're wanting to work in a flatter team structure having gained experience in a large firm or you're wanting to be a part of a firm that has a culture which helps their lawyers grow and where there is a partnership pathway. Either way, get in touch to explore if this is an opportunity for you.
