Job Description

Bellevue Law is a leading boutique firm specialising in commercial disputes and workplace law.

Each member of our Disputes team has joined us from leading global law firms. At Bellevue Law, they provide clients with the same high quality of advice and service, and an individually tailored, pragmatic and holistic approach, while benefiting from the flexibility and autonomy offered by our model.

We are known for combining legal expertise with holistic service, and pride ourselves on client satisfaction. Since we started our annual survey in 2018, clients have rated us over 9/10 on average every year when asked how likely they are to recommend us to a friend or colleague.

"The skill set and experience of these senior lawyers. Punching above their weight whilst driving ethical change."

Our collegiate, friendly culture is at the heart of our success, and in our Autumn 2024 colleague survey:

  • 100% of team members praised our culture;
  • 95% said the firm behaves in accordance with its values, and the same proportion that it provides the support and resources to help them meet their goals; and
  • Both internal communication and the balance between profit, purpose and people were rated 9/10 on average.

"I feel like the shackles of regular employment have been lifted and I'm free to do what I love and do the best job for my clients, in a way that fits around my family life and personal obligations."

The Role

Our commercial disputes practice regularly supports clients to navigate technically and factually complex and high-value disputes. Recent matters on which we have advised and represented clients include:

  • a multi-million pound breach of contract dispute;
  • multi-million US dollar international arbitrations;
  • a LIBOR manipulation claim;
  • High Court litigation relating to alleged breaches of confidentiality and privilege;
  • a complex multi-jurisdictional dispute involving allegations of fraud and deceit; and
  • defending former directors of an insolvent business against allegations of breach of duty made by the company's liquidators.

Our innovative business model also enables us to advise and support clients facing mid-value commercial disputes strategically and cost-effectively. We are often referred these matters from colleagues at global and City firms; over the past decade we have supported the valued clients and contacts of over 25 of the largest UK and US law firms.
