The Commercial Litigation Group
Our Commercial Litigation Group works across a broad range of litigation for clients from various industries and sectors which include, media, technology, telecoms, private capital, property, financial advisory and investment, entertainment and retail.

The role
We are seeking a lawyer, 2 PQE, who is technically excellent with the ability to deliver advice in a pragmatic and commercial manner. The lawyer must have practical experience of working independently on smaller matters and being part of a team on larger matters. The role will involve working directly with partners and other lawyers in the Group.

  • Managing a varied caseload of commercial disputes, including breach of contract, company law disputes (including shareholder disputes), and 'fraud' claims.
  • Conducting legal research and providing clear, strategic advice to clients.
  • Legal drafting of inter-partes correspondence, evidence, and interim applications.
  • Liaising with counsel, experts, and other stakeholders throughout proceedings.
  • Supporting senior team members on large-scale litigation and arbitration matters.
  • Attending client meetings, mediations, and court hearings where appropriate.
  • Take an active role and interest in marketing and business development within the firm and across all the firm's industries.

The ideal candidate should be capable of taking responsibility for tasks when appropriate while also following direction competently and efficiently. They must demonstrate the ability to think and act independently and pro-actively when required. Adaptability is key, as they will need to handle a wide variety of tasks depending on the nature of the matter or the size of the team, and they should be willing to engage with all aspects of a matter, from the early pre-action stage through to trial.

Additionally, confidence and sociability are essential when dealing directly with clients, as is the ability to deliver a high level of client service tailored to each client's specific priorities.
