2 weeks ago

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom Harperjames Full time

We are growing our commercial litigation team and looking for a senior commercial litigation solicitor (10+ years PQE) ideally with some construction litigation experience.

Who we are

Harper James is a national commercial law firm designed to support entrepreneurial businesses from start-up to exit. We aspire to disrupt the model for which legal services are provided to businesses. The firm's innovative approach to delivering highly tailored and accessible legal advice is considered genuinely different to the establishment.

Harper James was founded in 2014 and continues to grow at c40%+ year on year. This financial year, more than 150 people will support more than 4,000 businesses and our turnover will exceed £14.5m. We expect to double in size over the next 2 years.

What we offer

Our lawyers work on an employed and flexible basis, working remotely with access to meeting space in Birmingham, Cambridge, Cardiff, London, Manchester, Oxford, Sheffield and Southampton. We work really hard to ensure our lawyers feel part of a team so they can collaborate, share ideas and enjoy each other's company. The remote set up allows people to work from wherever they want, to give people the flexibility they need, for whatever reason. But we want people to feel that they belong to an ambitious company and that their contribution towards our growth is recognised individually and as a team.

What does the ideal candidate look like?

This opportunity is suited to lawyers with wide-ranging commercial litigation experience (ideally including construction litigation) and running a variety of complex commercial litigation cases independently and concurrently with paralegal support when required.

The bottom line

This is an opportunity to play an important part in the growth of the corporate practice, within an environment free of politics and bureaucracy; just a great team of people who all play a fundamental part in the success and continued growth of the business.

Benefits
  • Competitive salary and bonus.
  • 33 days holiday, including public holidays FTE.
  • Option to buy up to 5 holiday days a year FTE.
  • Electric car scheme.
  • Flexible working with full-time or part-time hours available as part of a fully remote but collaborative team.
