Birmingham, United Kingdom TLT LLP Full time

We are recruiting for an Associate to join our market-leading Commercial Dispute Resolution team in Birmingham.

Our national Commercial Dispute Resolution team is highly ranked in the Legal 500, and this role would enable the successful individual to work closely with a Partner and a Legal Director, recognised by the Legal 500 and Chambers UK.

It's never been a better time to join TLT - we have been named Law Firm of the Year at the Legal Business Awards 2023. This marks the third year in a row TLT has presented with this accolade in industry awards – having previously been named Law Firm of the Year at The Lawyer Awards in 2021 and the British Legal Awards in 2022.  

This role is a full time, permanent opportunity, offered on a hybrid working basis, and will further strengthen our existing Commercial Dispute Resolution team that operate on a national basis.

Your Team

Commercial disputes are an inevitable part of business life and resolving these issues efficiently is fundamental to commercial success. Our team is experienced in providing practical, commercial solutions ranging from advice in the first stages of a disagreement through to court proceedings and enforcement. Alternative dispute resolution such as mediation and arbitration is also a major part of our work.

We work with a wide range of businesses from plcs, public bodies and international companies to owner-managed businesses and non-profit organisations in addition to high-profile and high-net worth individuals.  We offer genuine industry knowledge to clients spanning a variety of sectors. We regularly act in significant, high value contractual disputes, negligence claims, contractual interpretation, public procurement challenges, sale of goods and services disputes, fraud and misrepresentation claims, insurance and IT disputes, as well as large debt claims and insolvency-related issues.

The team also advise on reputation management, defamation and media related issues and are involved in the high profile Voicemail Interception (more commonly known as phone hacking) litigation, pursuing claims for breach of confidence and the misuse of private information against various tabloid newspapers.

Your Role

We are looking for an ambitious individual to assist with the continued growth of the Commercial Dispute Resolution team and work directly alongside the Commercial Disputes Partner and Legal Director in Birmingham. This role will offer the successful individual the opportunity for professional growth, client exposure and excellent progression prospects.

  • Contribute to the growth and reputation of the firm’s commercial dispute resolution practice

  • Support with Voicemail Interception claims, including the management of case preparation as well as dealing with litigated cases

  • Contribute to best practice and precedent development
  • Be flexible and undertake ad hoc travel to London, to attend client meetings, conferences with Counsel and for Court hearings
  • Support with the development and supervision of more junior team members
