2 weeks ago


Sheffield, United Kingdom Sheffield City Council Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join Sheffield City Council’s Legal Services team as a Senior Civil Litigation Lawyer. The work of the team is fast-paced, and the subject matter is varied and challenging.

The responsibilities of the role include the conduct of complex litigation including contract/commercial disputes, property disputes, and judicial reviews, as well as the supervision of public sector housing litigation and business rates. The Civil Litigation Team is also engaged in defending high volume disrepair claims and expertise and experience in this area may be an advantage.

The successful candidate will be leading a team of friendly and hardworking lawyers and assistants and will make a positive difference to our communities. In return you can expect a rewarding career in the UK’s greenest city within an organisation that recognises the importance of work/life balance and that offers a range of attractive benefits and a friendly and supportive work environment.

We are looking for an individual who is enthusiastic, flexible, enjoys working as part of a team and who has a good knowledge and experience of Civil Litigation.

The successful candidate will demonstrate that they are able to provide authoritative advice to the Officers of the Council and Members, ensuring that decisions and actions are lawful. Experience of working within the public sector would be useful but is not necessary if the candidate can show requisite experience in Civil Litigation law.

This role is based in Sheffield, but we actively support flexible working arrangements, and the City is centrally located with excellent transport links, and we consider the wellbeing of our employees in the way we design and deliver our legal services. You can expect the ability to work flexibly, including hybrid working, to be a feature of working for Sheffield City Council.

This is a politically restricted post according to the terms of Local Government and Housing Act 1989.

Applicants must hold a recognised Legal qualification (Solicitor, Barrister or FCILEX). 

We are investing in our workforce and are promoting opportunities to our under-represented groups. We value equality, diversity and inclusion and are focused on increasing the diversity of our workforce, particularly the number of Black, Asian, Minority Ethnic, Disabled and LGBTQ+ people, so that our teams reflect the communities in the city we serve. We are also supporting staff with unpaid caring responsibilities to work flexibly.
