Solicitor

Litigation Solicitor | NQ+ | Legal 500 Ranked Firm | Liverpool

A junior litigation role built around close partner supervision rather than volume. You will sit directly under an experienced partner at a Legal 500 ranked Liverpool firm, with a varied disputes caseload and someone senior invested in how you develop.

For a lawyer at the start of their litigation career, the mentoring on offer here is the reason to look.

The Firm

A forward thinking and entrepreneurial firm with a strong reputation across the North West market, recognised in the Legal 500 for its disputes work. It has attracted partners from leading national and regional practices, drawn by a collaborative culture, realistic expectations and the freedom to do good work without unnecessary bureaucracy.

The culture is warm, inclusive and supportive. Partners here are approachable and hands on, taking a direct interest in the people around them, which makes this a strong environment in which to build the foundations of a litigation career. The disputes team has grown considerably and the firm is now in a period of organic growth with real momentum behind it.

The Role

You will work directly alongside a partner and senior members of the disputes team, with genuine responsibility from the outset and structured support at every stage. The partner you report to will be closely involved in your development, giving you the kind of one to one mentoring that is increasingly difficult to find at this level.

Rather than being pigeonholed early you will build experience across the full range of the team's caseload, spanning commercial litigation including shareholder disputes and breach of contract claims, complex professional negligence matters, contentious insolvency work and civil litigation including contentious trusts, probate and landlord and tenant disputes.

There is real scope over time to take ownership of your own matters and develop your profile within a team that is genuinely invested in your long term progression.

The Ideal Candidate

• Newly qualified solicitor or above with a background or strong interest in litigation
