Senior Commercial Litigation Solicitor | Leading Full Service in London

Commercial Litigation Solicitor

3+ PQE | Established Full-Service Firm | Complex Commercial Disputes

I am working with a well-connected, full-service law firm looking to strengthen its Litigation Department with the appointment of a Commercial Litigation Solicitor with 3+ years' PQE.

This is a particularly attractive opportunity for a solicitor looking to take the next step in their career within a busy, established department with a strong flow of commercial litigation work.

The firm has a substantial litigation offering and an established client base, providing the opportunity to handle a varied caseload of commercial disputes while benefiting from the wider expertise and resources of a full-service practice.

The Role

You’ll take responsibility for your own caseload of general commercial litigation matters, advising clients on contentious issues and developing practical strategies to achieve commercially sensible outcomes.

• Managing commercial litigation matters from initial instruction through to resolution.
• Advising clients on the merits of disputes, litigation strategy, risk and settlement options.
• Drafting and reviewing pleadings, witness statements, settlement agreements and other legal documentation.
• Handling County Court and High Court proceedings, alongside mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution.
• Liaising with clients, counsel and other professionals to progress matters effectively.
• Building and maintaining strong client relationships through clear, commercially focused advice.
• Working collaboratively with colleagues across the firm and contributing to the continued development of the department.

About You

You’ll be a qualified Solicitor in England and Wales with at least 3 years' PQE and a solid grounding in general commercial litigation.

You’ll be comfortable managing your own matters, advising clients directly and handling the demands of a varied contentious caseload. Strong drafting, negotiation and analytical skills are essential, alongside a sound understanding of civil procedure and litigation strategy.

You’ll also be commercially minded, organised and confident in building client relationships, with the ambition to continue developing your practice within a strong litigation team.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

For a solicitor looking for quality work and a busy department in which to build their career, this offers the opportunity to join an established, well-connected firm with a particularly strong litigation offering.

You’ll have the scope to take ownership of your caseload, develop your client relationships and work on a broad range of commercial disputes within a full-service environment.
