Experience: 5-8 Years PQE in Civil/Commercial Litigation
Salary: £80,000 – £110,000 (dependent on experience)

Type: Permanent, Full-Time

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

Join a highly respected boutique law firm specializing in high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional litigation and regulatory matters. This isn't your typical commercial disputes role – you'll be working on complex, sensitive, and often unprecedented legal issues including sanctions, asset freezes, warrants of arrest, and cross-border enforcement.

What You'll Be Doing: 

• Running complex, medium-sized litigation matters (primarily civil in nature) • Drafting pleadings, witness statements, and court applications in line with CPR • Working collaboratively across criminal, regulatory, and international disciplines • Liaising with external counsel and lawyers in multiple jurisdictions • Taking a hands-on approach while supervising junior team members • Stepping into novel legal territory beyond core litigation matters

What We're Looking For: 

• UK-qualified solicitor with 5-8 years PQE in civil or commercial litigation • Deep knowledge of Civil Procedure Rules and courtroom procedure • Comfortable running files with minimal supervision within a collaborative team • Proactive, curious, and flexible approach to legal challenges • Experience with international, regulatory, or sanctions-related matters (preferred) • Strong drafting, communication, and team collaboration skills

What's In It For You: 

• Competitive salary £80,000-£110,000 (experience dependent) • Work alongside some of the most respected litigators in the field • Exposure to unique, high-profile client base with cutting-edge matters • Strong potential for development and progression • Challenging, varied, and novel work environment
