This is an excellent opportunity to join an established national team, taking responsibility for managing and developing a team while handling a varied portfolio of commercial debt recovery matters.

• Managing a caseload of commercial debt recovery matters
• Assisting with insolvency matters, including Statutory Demands
• Building strong relationships with commercial clients and providing regular reporting
• Working alongside fee earners on contested and more complex matters
• Supporting the Head of Debt Recovery with client development and networking
• Identifying opportunities to grow existing relationships and generate additional work

We’re looking for someone with strong debt recovery experience, a good understanding of the litigation process and previous experience managing or supervising others.
