The Role


We are seeking an ambitious and talented commercial litigator to join a busy and expanding commercial litigation team at a leading law firm.

The team manages complex High Court litigation and international arbitration and provides strategic advice on claims avoidance and risk management.

Several solicitor advocates, members of CiArb, and qualified mediators are part of the team. The successful candidate will work closely with partners, taking responsibility for progressing cases and collaborating within larger teams.
