Job Description:

We are currently working with a well-respected firm who are seeking a Dispute Resolution Solicitor for a locum/permanent (can do temp to perm if preferred) contract based in Potters Bar.

About the firm:

They are a well-established firm of solicitors based in North London and Hertfordshire, offering specialised advice and an efficient, high-quality service for over 50 years.

Their reputation is founded on their commitment to legal excellence, a pragmatic and straightforward approach, and an understanding of their clients' needs whether an individual or a large organisation. Their clients have included local individuals as well as international organisations and government departments.

About the role:

The vacancy is for a solicitor with around 10 years PQE. You will be able to run your own caseload with no supervision and have the opportunity to expand the department by re-establishing connections with clients and creating new relationships with clients generated within the firm from the property work and building on existing client relationships.

What they are looking for:

• Experience with general litigation caseload with a mix of property litigation, i.e., residential and commercial landlord and tenant.
• Experience of general contract disputes and forfeiture and dilapidation claims for commercial properties and an interest in the property side of litigation.
• Must know your way around a residential and commercial lease. Experience with probate disputes and inheritance act claims is an advantage.
• Must be able to handle a busy caseload, work to court deadlines, be organised, and communicate well verbally and in writing with clients and colleagues alike.
• Advocacy experience for remote timetabling hearings is essential.
• Instructing Counsel to attend hearings is preferred over the solicitor attending in person.

Details:

• Ideally office-based; however, hybrid working (3 days in office, 2 days at home) is possible.
• The support includes an experienced full-time secretary, a part-time secretary (2 days a week), and a paralegal.
