Our FSDI team is one of the UK's largest teams in the field of financial services litigation , comprising over 150 people across our offices in Bristol, Manchester, London, Belfast and Glasgow. We are rated by Chambers as being in the top tier of firms outside of London advising in this area.
The range and quality of the work we do is exceptional . Our team advise on a variety of contentious matters – including high value and complex banking litigation, professional negligence claims, investment litigation, international disputes, regulatory, fraud, trade finance and receivership instructions . We defend reputationally sensitive claims and undertake specialist projects with our clients to help to prevent claims against them in the future.
We have a strong and diverse client base which includes the UK's major clearing banks, building societies, private and wealth banks, digital banks, international banks, payment service providers and fixed charge receivers .
We have grown consistently over the last few years and further growth is envisaged and planned. Whilst we are a large and busy team, we don’t lose sight of the individual and every member of our team is supported, developed, and contributes to our achievements.
If you are ambitious and eager to take the next step in your career, our team offers you top quality work for a range of clients and business development opportunities.
Your success is our responsibility. You will have direct contact with distinguished clients and receive bespoke training throughout your career, ensuring you have the technical and commercial skills to become a sector specialist. We look after our people, offer an inclusive and diverse culture, and provide wellbeing support and flexible working.
Your RoleAs an Associate you will be part of a supportive team who will work with you to develop your talent and progress your career. As we are the go-to law firm within the financial services sector, you will be working with several UK and international clients, such as Natwest Group, Lloyds Banking Group and Nationwide Building Society, in addition to a number of others.
This is a diverse role, offering real variety; each case is unique, and two days are rarely alike.
You will have the opportunity to be involved with:
- Running a varied contentious caseload for our key financial services clients
- Undertaking supervision of others
- Providing strategic and commercial legal advice upon a range of disputes and claims, working alongside more senior members of the team
- Participating in business development activities with clients and potential clients, nurturing existing relationships and building on new ones
- Assisting with production of legal updates and know-how development
We are looking for a Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive who wants to join a growing team and be challenged throughout their career. You will have experience of running your own caseload of litigation matters (subject to supervision), with a thorough understanding of the CPR and the litigation process.
Ideally you will be experienced in acting in the financial services sector on contentious matters, however, we are also keen to receive applications from those with a background in insurance litigation, property litigation or commercial litigation.
You will be/have:
- A Qualified Solicitor (SRA or Law Society Registered), or Chartered Legal Executive, ideally 1-3 PQE, however we will consider applications from those outside of this bracket
- A forward thinker, with excellent analytical, communication and organisational skills
- Self-motivated with the ability to manage workloads and deadlines
- Commercially aware with enthusiasm for business development and an appetite for keeping up-to-date with the latest developments in your practice area and sector focus
- Able to understand your client’s business needs and act in the best interest of the firm and the client
- An ambitious and enthusiastic team player, able to support senior fee earners and contribute to our collaborative culture.

We act for a range of financial institutions including large UK banks, international banks, challenger banks and fintechs, giving commercial and practical advice to resolve disputes.
