**Job Summary**

**What you’ll do**

We are currently seeking an ambitious and highly motivated Associate or Senior Associate (with at least 4 years plus PQE) to join our highly regarded Commercial Litigation team based in our Exeter or Plymouth office, with flexible working arrangements in line with our ‘Ways of Working’ framework.

Having been consistently highly ranked in the Legal 500 and Chambers directories, you will be joining a high-performing team who regularly advise local, national and international clients across a whole array of commercial disputes - including contractual disputes, shareholder litigation, financial disputes, judicial review, and negligence claims, with sub teams covering sports law, energy & waste, marine, business risk and regulation and insolvency, each of which are headed up by a specialist Partner.

With an established client base and reputation, this is a great opportunity to join an expanding and successful team, with exposure to high quality work from the outset.

As an excellent communicator, you will excel at gaining the confidence of the clients you are working with, building strong and lasting relationships. Naturally resilient, you will be able to cope with stressful and demanding situations, and be accustomed to working under pressure to meet challenging deadlines.

You will have the drive to expand your skills and knowledge and over time, whilst being ambitious to develop a specialism of your own if you haven’t already, and proactively work to build a following. We will expect you to take a high degree of responsibility for the cases you're working on, whilst providing you with development in terms of your legal and wider commercial and management skills.

**Why join Team Ashfords?**

Ask our people, and they will tell you that they genuinely enjoy coming to work and spending time with their colleagues. We’re confident that once you discover our open and friendly culture, it won’t take long for you to feel the same.

We have a genuine team approach at Ashfords because we know that when talented people work together, we achieve more for our clients and each other. We also recognise that each of our career journeys is unique. So, we will be ambitious for you and give you the support you need to develop your career, your way.

Importantly, we will give you the space and flexibility for your life outside work too.

Our goal? To help you realise your full potential as part of a forward-thinking team and business.

That’s what sets us apart.

**Our offer**

We offer a range of benefits to support you at work and at home.

This includes a flexible working framework giving you the freedom to mix home and office working, extra annual leave for your birthday and the option to buy more holiday.

We have a comprehensive package to support physical and mental health including onsite yoga classes and a gym at our head office, healthcare plans, an Employee Assistance programme and free access for you and up to five friends to the ‘Calm’ Mindfulness App.

You’ll also have the chance to get involved in our responsible business programme, including fundraising initiatives through the Ashfords Foundation and bringing your energy to our environment or diversity groups.
