The firm is known for its involvement in large high-profile cases covering criminal, insolvency, international arbitration, and group action cases, servicing clients in West/East Kent and London. They are looking to expand their offerings to include lower-value, broader work, and the successful candidate will be involved in business development activities, supported by the Partners.

The ideal candidate will offer the following skills:

1. Be at least 4 years PQE with experience in commercial litigation, group action claims, insolvency, or white-collar crime.
2. Have gained experience in a reputable regional or London law firm.
3. Ideally have an existing following.
4. Experience or interest in business development.
5. Have local links to Kent.
6. Be client-focused with a commercial awareness.

You will work in attractive offices with friendly and supportive colleagues, where Solicitors and Barristers collaborate to provide a "one-stop shop" for clients. The package includes a generous salary (if employed), benefits such as parking, and if working as a Consultant, a 70:30 fee share. Hybrid working is available, with 1-2 days in the office per week after an initial settling-in period.
