A Birmingham based law firm is looking to recruit a Litigation Solicitor to join its team
Client Details
A long established private practice based outside of Birmingham city centre.
Description
This is an opportunity for a Litigation Solicitor to join a small team in a large high street law firm, working closely alongside the Partner on a range of contentious matters for both private individuals and businesses.
The firm is long established in the Midlands market and is full service from Company/Commercial through to Private Client.
The Litigation team is small, so you will have the chance to make an impact and work on your own files, alongside the Litigation Partner. So if you are looking for a firm where you can actually make a difference and be noticed by other senior lawyers, then this firm can offer you that.
Typically the team advises on anything contentious - contractual disputes, landlord and tenant litigation, IP, some contentious probate and more. You will have direct client contact and run your own files with supervision (if required).
The firm has an excellent reputation for enabling a work/life balance. It's a high street firm so its ethos and culture reflects this.
What they can offer you:
- Working within a small team with supervision from Partner
- Your own clients and your own files from day one
- Good progression opportunities - the firm likes to promote from within, so there's a real chance here for somebody to make an impact and climb the ladder. They are always interested in the Partners of tomorrow
- Work/life balance - you won't be working city hours, although the team is busy but more focused on efficient working
Profile
It's likely that you'll have at least 2y PQE in civil/commercial litigation and will be confident running with a matter, with supervision if required.
Our client will look at candidates with a range of experience.
