Job description

The Opportunity:

As part of a specialist team, working across a few expert partners, you'll be immersed in files which range from high value construction litigation arbitrations and adjudications, to multi-party commercial litigation cases for misleading and deceptive conduct, to breach of director duties claims, complex insolvency cases, shareholder disputes and contractual claims. A firm with  Modern offices and systems, you'll be well set-up to exceed. 

You will get the chance to have time in court if you'd like it, with most of the firms cases being in the High Court. They have a steady pipeline of local (and at times, cross border claims) that you can get involved in and really sink your teeth into. 

About You:
  • Experience:  7+ years solid litigation experience with some construction experience being desired (but not necessary)
  • Technical Skills: Demonstrating excellent technical skills, particularly in litigation.
  • Collaborative Nature: Ability to work collaboratively with other team members - both junior and senior but also be a self starter. 
  • Soft Skills: Ability to mentor junior team members and work on files with a good level of autonomy, with partner support. 
What's in it for You:    
  • Competitive Remuneration: The firm offers a competitive compensation package. 
  • Work/Life Balance: Their workplace culture prioritises and nurtures work/life balance.
  • Collaborative Environment: Our client fosters a collaborative, collegial, and inclusive workplace culture.
  • Access to Quality Work: Be part of a team that consistently delivers high-quality work, providing you with valuable experience and opportunities for professional development.
You may be at a top tier practice and interested in a flatter structure team environment, with quality work but keen to work in an environment without office politics or long hours, while still being well-remunerated; likewise you may be a construction litigation lawyer looking to advance your career in this field with a firm that does top work and to also contribute to commercial litigation matters. Either way, get in touch to find out if this is the opportunity for you.
