An established law firm in Stockport is looking to recruit a junior Dispute Resolution Solicitor to join its busy litigation practice.
The opportunity would suit a newly qualified solicitor or someone with up to approximately one year's PQE who wants to develop broad contentious experience while working closely with an experienced litigation partner.
The Role
- The successful candidate will assist with an established and varied caseload, covering:
- Residential landlord and tenant disputes, including possession proceedings.
- Commercial landlord and tenant matters.
- Property litigation and wider real estate disputes.
- Commercial and contractual disputes.
- Debt recovery and general civil litigation.
- Occasional contentious probate matters.
The role offers direct exposure to client work and the opportunity to develop responsibility for managing matters as experience grows.
About You
You'll ideally be a qualified solicitor with up to one year's PQE and some experience in civil litigation, property litigation or commercial disputes.
You'll need strong attention to detail, good drafting skills and a genuine interest in contentious work. Experience gained before qualification will also be relevant.
Previous landlord and tenant experience would be useful, although an interest in developing expertise in this area is equally important.
Salary and Working Arrangements
A competitive salary is available, dependent on experience.
The role is based in Stockport, with an expectation of approximately four days per week in the office to support supervision and development.
