This is a rare opportunity to build and grow a commercial litigation practice within an established and respected firm, with a particular focus on shareholder and partnership disputes.

The firm already advises a strong and loyal client base – including founders, boards, partnerships and senior executives – which is largely untapped from a commercial litigation perspective, creating immediate and organic growth potential.

Work collaboratively with senior employment partners on complex, high-value matters

Join a lockstep partnership model with the opportunity to secure a meaningful equity stake and strong share of the business over time
Be part of a firm known for strong internal support, sensible resourcing and a genuinely healthy, collaborative working environment

The Ideal Candidate

Established Commercial Litigation Partner (or Senior Legal Director / SC with partnership ambitions)
Demonstrable expertise in shareholder disputes, partnership disputes and related commercial litigation
Portable practice welcomed but not essential, given the strength of the existing client base
Commercial, collaborative and collegiate mindset

What\’s on Offer

Highly competitive salary and bonus package
Attractive lockstep remuneration structure aligned with long-term value creation
A supportive partnership with strong operational, marketing and junior lawyer support
High-quality work, consistent internal referrals and a positive firm culture

This role will suit a partner looking to build real equity in a business, develop a disputes practice with proper backing, and work within a firm that prioritises both excellence and sustainability. If of interest please apply as directed or contact Catherine Knowles on 07580 429 321.
