Job description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Commercial Litigation Partner to join a well-established national law firm in Leeds, taking a leading role in the development and growth of its local commercial litigation offering.

With a relatively small existing team locally, this is an opportunity for an ambitious partner to make a real impact, providing leadership and strategic direction while helping to drive the next phase of growth.

The firm has a strong national platform and an established commercial litigation team, offering the successful individual the opportunity to combine local leadership with the support, expertise and resources of a wider national practice.

The Opportunity

This is a role that offers much more than simply managing an existing caseload. The successful partner will have the opportunity to help shape the future direction of the Leeds team, providing steerage, developing the local offering and working collaboratively to identify and deliver growth opportunities.

There is considerable scope to influence the team's strategy, build on existing strengths and develop new areas of work, whilst working closely with colleagues across the national commercial litigation practice.

The firm is open-minded about the profile of the individual and the nature of the practice they would bring. Whether you have developed a particular sector specialism, a niche commercial disputes practice or a broad portfolio of commercial litigation work across multiple sectors, there is flexibility to explore how your expertise and client base could complement and enhance the existing team.

Who Are We Looking For?

We are interested in speaking with established Commercial Litigation Partners who:

• Have a strong commercial litigation practice and a demonstrable track record of developing client relationships and generating work.
• Are motivated by the opportunity to lead and shape a team, rather than simply joining an established structure.
• Have an entrepreneurial mindset and a genuine appetite for driving growth.
• Enjoy working collaboratively and see the value in being part of a wider national team.
• Bring either a specialist sector or work-type focus, or a broad commercial litigation practice.

This opportunity could suit a partner looking for a new platform from which to grow their practice, someone seeking greater leadership responsibility or an individual who wants to play a more active role in shaping the strategic direction of a local team.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

The combination of an established national platform, a small local team and a clear appetite for growth creates a compelling proposition for a partner looking to make a meaningful difference.

You will have the opportunity to influence the future of the Leeds commercial litigation practice, build on the firm's existing capabilities and develop a team and offering that reflects your own strengths and ambitions.

Interested in Exploring the Opportunity?

If you are a Commercial Litigation Partner who is considering your next move, or simply curious about what a new platform could offer for your practice, I would welcome a confidential conversation.

This is an opportunity to explore how your practice, ambitions and leadership experience could align with the firm's plans for Leeds, without any obligation to take matters further.

All initial discussions will be handled in the strictest confidence.

Whether you are actively considering a move or simply open to hearing more, please get in touch for an informal and entirely confidential conversation to find out more about the opportunity and what it could offer you and your practice.
