Guildford, United Kingdom Stevens & Bolton Full time

The Role

We are looking for an ambitious and talented commercial litigator to join our busy and growing commercial litigation team. This new position is ideal for someone with around 3-6 years PQE (although we may consider those with more or less PQE in exceptional circumstances), gained in a City firm or leading national or regional practice.

We are based in Guildford, although we currently offer flexible hybrid working with most people choosing to spend on average 2 3 days per week in the office.

Although we are advertising this role as a full-time role, we would also consider this as a part-time role. 

The Commercial Litigation Team

There are currently 5 partners and 9 other lawyers in the team. We are one of the largest contentious law practices in the South East outside London and are rated in the top tiers of Chambers and Legal 500 and as a National Leading Practice in Chambers.

We handle a wide range of contentious work for a variety of clients, from individuals and owner managed businesses to household name PLCs. A large proportion of our work is international in nature, involving close collaboration with law firms in other jurisdictions. As well as handling complex High Court litigation and international arbitration we provide strategic advice on claims avoidance and risk management.

We are committed to investment in our team and have several solicitor advocates within the team as well as members of CiArb and qualified mediators. First-class support and learning and development opportunities are provided, and early responsibility is offered. The successful candidate will often work on cases directly with a partner and take responsibility for progressing cases, as well as working as part of a larger team.

The team itself is incredibly supportive and encouraging and the culture of the firm is inclusive with an emphasis on bringing everyone together through regular department and firm-wide socials.

Teja Pisk, senior associate, comments I joined Stevens & Bolton in 2018 having trained and qualified at a City firm and have, quite frankly, never looked back. I have excellent exposure to a wide variety of stimulating cases and great levels of responsibility. The team as a whole is incredibly supportive, encouraging and friendly which makes for a fantastic working environment in which everyone is given the opportunity to thrive. The firm wide culture is a real differential genuinely inclusive with a real sense of togetherness
