We are currently assisting a well-known and market leading Firm who are looking toexpand a thriving international arbitration practice with a strong cross‑border client base.
Our client would consider either a pre-existing junior Partner or elsea senior non-Partner such as Counsel, Legal Director or Senior/Managing Associate who has already started to nurture some clients of their own.
The role centres on acting in complex, high‑value disputes that frequently involve multiple jurisdictions, sensitive commercial issues and fast‑moving strategic considerations. The successful candidate will take a leading role in developing the arbitration offering, shaping its future direction and deepening relationships with an international network of clients, counsel and experts.
The position suits a lawyer with a proven track record in international arbitration, ideally with experience spanning commercial, investment or treaty matters. An ability to manage substantial caseloads, guide teams and engage confidently with sophisticated clients is essential. The firm values practitioners who combine technical excellence with the ability to navigate contentious matters that often attract significant public, political or commercial scrutiny as well as individuals with commercial flair who appreciate what it takes to grow a practice.
An active caseload or portable client following is required, reflecting the seniority of the role and the firm’s commitment to continued growth in this area. Experience in sanctions—whether advisory, compliance or contentious—would be a significant advantage. Candidates with a strong grounding in sanctions regimes may be considered for an additional leadership title reflecting responsibility for that area of work.
Interested parties should be UK Qualified, currently working in the UK and have gained their private practice experience within another leading Firm.
