Jobbeschreibung

An established Leeds law firm is recruiting a Commercial Litigation Associate with approximately 1–5 years’ PQE to join its commercial dispute resolution team.

The opportunity offers complex litigation and a broad commercial disputes practice. It would suit a lawyer who wants to continue developing across general commercial litigation within an experienced team.

The team comprises two Partners, three Legal Directors, four Senior Associates and one Associate. Dedicated teams handle property litigation, construction, employment and financial litigation, so the requirement is specifically for a broad commercial litigator.

You should have a sound grounding in commercial disputes, strong academics and experience gained at a reputable practice. The firm is seeking breadth of experience rather than a narrow specialism.

When we met the firm’s Talent Manager, she described a high-performing but supportive culture, with accessible decision-makers and scope for lawyers to develop their interests within a single-site Leeds practice.

The working arrangement involves three days in the Leeds office most weeks. The advertised salary is an indicative guide rather than a confirmed employer band. Expectations will be checked with the firm before progressing.
