We are currently seeking an experienced Commercial Litigation Partner to join our growing team in Central London. This is a key leadership position within the firm, and we are willing to wait for the right candidate who aligns with our values and long-term vision.

The successful candidate will lead the commercial litigation practice, working closely alongside our Property Litigation Partner and their team, while focusing solely on commercial litigation matters (not property litigation). This role offers an excellent opportunity to shape and grow the commercial litigation function while managing and mentoring a small team.

  • Proven ability to lead, supervise, and develop team members.
The Role
  • Manage a caseload of commercial litigation matters.
  • Lead and supervise 1-2 Commercial Litigation Solicitors and a similar number of support staff.
  • Work collaboratively with senior leadership and partners to support the firm's strategic growth.
  • Contribute to business development and client relationship management.
  • A client following is desirable, but not essential if the candidate can demonstrate strong business development skills and the ability to generate new work.
Candidate Profile

We are looking for a confident and commercially minded solicitor who has built their experience primarily within a small to mid-sized law firm and is ready to take on a strategic leadership role. The successful candidate will demonstrate leadership capability, supervisory experience, and the ability to communicate clearly and assertively with colleagues and clients.

  • Hybrid Working - up to 3 days working from home
  • 25 days annual leave + bank holidays + 2 additional partner-awarded days
  • Birthday voucher
  • Staff referral and business development incentives
  • Season ticket loan (for fully office-based staff)
  • Firm social events, including a Christmas party, summer party, and team meals with supervisors
