Job description

Commercial Litigation Associate - Leeds
NQ to 3 Years PQE | Global Law Firm |

Let's be honest: a lot of litigation adverts promise "high-quality work" and then the reality is quite different.

A leading global law firm is looking to grow its Commercial Litigation team in Leeds, and they're open to hiring several junior lawyers. Whether you're a standout NQ or a few years in and ready for a step up in quality and exposure, they want to hear from you.

The work

The breadth here is the real draw. You'll be working on a broad, general commercial litigation caseload, including:

• Corporate and contractual disputes
• Shareholder disputes
• Business protection matters
• Defamation
• Arbitration
• High-value, high-profile litigation

You’ll be part of one national team, which means working alongside partners and colleagues across the firm, not just the ones down the corridor. That’s a genuine advantage for your development, your profile and your CV.

The team

You’ll be joining a friendly, growing team where the focus is on building talent at the junior end. It’s a supportive environment with plenty of people to learn from and real investment in your progression. The firm has a strong track record of bringing in ambitious lawyers, including those who have made the move from London or stepped up from other well-regarded firms.

About you

• NQ to 3 years PQE in commercial litigation or dispute resolution
• A strong academic background and a genuine appetite to learn
• At this level, they know you won't have seen everything yet. A couple of matters that have gone to trial would be great, but it's your potential and attitude that matter most
• Currently at a leading national, regional or City firm, or looking to step up from a smaller one

What's on offer

• Top of market rate
• Early responsibility on high-quality matters, alongside excellent training and development
• A national platform with a regional lifestyle
• A team that is growing and genuinely wants you to grow with it

If you want quality work, real variety and a firm that will back you, this one is well worth a conversation.
