**The vacancy**

Are you looking to further develop your career in a Top 200 law firm, within a busy, dynamic team serving nationwide clients of both substantial businesses and private individuals?

The Dispute Resolution team at Wilkin Chapman is growing. To support and enhance that growth, we are seeking an outcome-driven, motivated, and customer-focused Solicitor or Senior Solicitor.

The role is within the commercial litigation team.

Previous experience of litigation is required for this role, preferably to include commercial or employment disputes. Individuals from an employment law background are encouraged to apply.

Your main duties will include:

- Assisting the team with dealing with a wide range of litigation cases with a focus on commercial and employment-related litigation.
- Regularly update clients as to the current situation of their case including regular updates on costs.
- Attending court and conducting advocacy on behalf of clients or instructing counsel where appropriate.
- Be involved with business development activities organised by the department or office.
- Identify and follow up new business opportunities.
- Delegate appropriate work to solicitors / paralegals / trainee legal executives and supervise the completion of the work.
