Imagine having the freedom to focus on good litigation work without feeling chained to your desk. Some roles offer a narrow caseload, endless targets and little room to build something of your own. This isn't one of them. We're working with a highly regarded Dorset law firm with a long-standing reputation for providing pragmatic, commercially minded advice to individuals and businesses alike. Recognised by the Legal 500 and known for its collaborative culture, the firm has built a loyal client base and a strong presence across the South Coast. Due to continued growth, they're looking to add an experienced Dispute Resolution Lawyer to their established team.
The Opportunity: This is a broad disputes role with a particular emphasis on property litigation and landlord & tenant matters, alongside a varied mix of commercial disputes, professional negligence claims, contentious probate matters, boundary disputes, intellectual property issues and urgent injunctive work. You'll inherit quality work from day one, whilst also having the autonomy to develop your own practice and specialisms. The team enjoys a collegiate approach, working closely with colleagues across corporate, commercial and private client disciplines to provide clients with a seamless service. Whether you're an ambitious Associate looking for greater responsibility or a Senior Lawyer seeking a supportive environment with flexibility, this role offers the platform to shape your career without sacrificing work-life balance.

- Managing a varied caseload of dispute resolution matters
- Advising on property and landlord & tenant disputes
- Handling commercial litigation and wider civil disputes

- Someone who enjoys building relationships and being part of a team
