Litigation Solicitor

Civil Litigation Solicitor (5+ PQE)Full Time Hybrid WorkingSalary: Competitive (Banding Structure) + Benefits

We are seeking an experienced Litigation Solicitor (5+ PQE) to join a well-established and busy Civil Litigation Department. This is an excellent opportunity for a confident and ambitious lawyer looking to take the next step in their career, with a genuine pathway towards future leadership and management responsibility.

Personal injury experience is not a priority for this role. The focus is on a strong background in general civil litigation, along with the ability to manage your own caseload independently and deliver high-quality client service.

This position forms part of a clear succession plan, with the current Head of Department approaching retirement. The successful candidate will therefore have a real opportunity to progress into a senior leadership role over time.

You will manage a varied civil litigation caseload, which may include:

• Debt recovery matters
• Contract disputes
• General civil litigation claims
• Some exposure to personal injury work (not essential and not a core focus)

You will handle files from instruction through to conclusion, providing clear, practical advice and maintaining strong client relationships throughout.

There will also be scope to contribute to the continued development and direction of the department as part of a collaborative and forward-thinking team.

• Qualified Solicitor with approximately 5 years' PQE
• Strong experience in general civil litigation
• Confident managing a caseload independently
• Commercial awareness and a proactive, solutions-focused approach
• Excellent communication and client care skills
• Ambition to progress into a senior or Head of Department role in the future

• Competitive salary aligned to a structured banding system
• Hybrid working model (60/40 split)
• Clear and supported progression into senior leadership
• 22 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing with service (23 days after 5 years, 25 days after 10 years)
• Company car provision after an intro period and hitting targets (subject to role/seniority criteria)
• On-site parking
• Standard workplace pension
• Health and wellbeing initiatives
• Free tea and coffee on site
• Monthly breakfast and Friday fruit & treats

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Litigation Solicitor looking for long-term progression, stability, and the chance to step into a future leadership role within a growing department.
