COMMERCIAL LITIGATION SOLICITOR / ASSOCIATE - MANCHESTER 

Commercial Litigation Solicitor / Associate – An exciting opportunity has arisen with this top tier commercial firm for a talented commercial litigation solicitor with around 1-4 PQE to join and grow with the team. The firm undertakes a wide range of quality work and is currently benefitting from an increase in work. This is a great chance to join a reputable firm and develop with a department which is growing steadily in the Manchester market.

SUMMARY

• Job title: Commercial Litigation Solicitor / Associate
• Location: Manchester
• Salary: £40,000 - £55,000 (Depending on experience)
• Reports to: Partner
• Previous Experience: Full range of commercial litigation disputes working for mid-level SMEs to large national and multi-national companies. NQs will be considered in exceptional circumstances.

THE COMMERCIAL LITIGATION TEAM

Commercial litigation solicitors within the team are instructed on a broad range of matters from bread-and-butter commercial litigation involving breach of commercial contracts, directors’ disputes and commercial injunctions to more specialised areas such as construction litigation. The team already benefits from a solid reputation in the Manchester market, but is certainly growing their presence.

The team is regularly instructed by major national and international companies, but also has a rich source of work from SME clients. This, in turn, means that junior fee earners benefit from great exposure and are encouraged to run with matters as soon as possible.

A number of key lateral hires at senior level have resulted in the department experiencing an up-turn in work. As a result, a demand has arisen for a 1-4 PQE solicitor to join the team and grow with the firm, working in particular with one of the Partners.

WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR

The team is looking for a dedicated, hard-working and ambitious commercial litigation solicitor to join the team and work closely with one of the Partners in the department. Applicants should already have a sound technical understanding of the litigation process and be capable of running matters independently. They should also be able to demonstrate:

• A consistently strong academic record;
• Previous experience from a reputable law firm;
• The ability to work independently, when required;
• A down-to-earth personality and approach to one’s work; and
• The desire to involve oneself in business development.

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO DEVELOP AN PROGRESS

This is a truly exciting opportunity for the right candidate. Not only is the work on offer of extremely high quality, but the structure of the team lends itself to great career progression and client exposure. If you have around 1-4 PQE and are looking to really further your career in commercial litigation, this role is definitely worth considering.
