The Role

  • Senior Solicitors are experienced qualified Solicitors, who supervise the work of our Solicitors, Trainees and Legal Analysts on a day-to-day basis. Senior Solicitors also play a proactive role supporting the senior team with strategic management and delivery of matters, as well as the development of our junior team. They are expected to be able to lead certain projects, escalating to Managers who will support as necessary.
  • Senior Solicitors are likely to have a particular area of specialism within Corporate, in which they are capable of delivering complex work, as well as being closely involved in developing processes and know-how for the wider team.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Scoping and setting-up new matters and conducting fee earning work directly, as well as supervising and training teams.
  • Supports with pricing at the outset of a matter and then assists in managing costs and billing throughout.
  • Maintains an up-to-date knowledge of relevant areas of law, providing technical excellence in relation to one (or more) of the specialist areas of the corporate practice.
  • Working with legal technology tools appropriate to the relevant matter (e.g. artificial intelligence tools for DD) and keeping up to date with technological advances.
  • Assists with preparing pitch documents and likely to attend client presentations and assist more generally with business development.
  • Liaising with clients and teams elsewhere in the firm as required on fee-earning or other projects.
  • The responsibilities outlined above cannot totally encompass or define all tasks that may be required of the post-holder. The outline of responsibilities given above may, therefore, vary from time to time without materially changing either the character or level of responsibility or grade.
