Job description

NQ Dispute Resolution Solicitor | Legal 500 Ranked | Liverpool

A fantastic opportunity for a newly qualified Litigation Solicitor to begin their career in the right environment, learning directly from experienced and highly regarded partners at a growing Legal 500 firm in Liverpool that genuinely puts its people first.

The Firm

This forward-thinking and entrepreneurial firm has built a strong reputation across the North West legal market, backed by Legal 500 recognition and a genuine commitment to developing the lawyers within it. The firm has attracted partners from leading national and regional practices who have chosen this platform for its collaborative culture, realistic expectations and the freedom to do great work without unnecessary bureaucracy getting in the way.

The culture here is warm, inclusive and genuinely supportive. This is not a firm where junior lawyers are left to figure things out alone. Partners are hands‑on, approachable and invested in the development of the people around them, making it an outstanding environment for a newly qualified solicitor to learn, grow and build the foundations of a long and successful career.

Having recruited heavily into disputes over the last twelve months, the firm is now entering its next phase of organic growth with real momentum behind it and an exciting period ahead.

The Role

You will work directly alongside the managing partner and senior members of the disputes team, gaining hands‑on experience across a genuinely broad and interesting litigation caseload from day one. This is a role where you will be supported at every step, given real exposure to complex matters and encouraged to develop your skills and confidence at a pace that suits your progression.

The breadth of work on offer is a real strength of this role, spanning:

• Commercial litigation including shareholder disputes and breach of contract claims
• Complex professional negligence matters
• Contentious insolvency cases
• Civil litigation including contentious trusts and probate and landlord and tenant disputes

For a junior lawyer who wants variety, genuine mentorship and the chance to develop across a wide range of litigation rather than being pigeonholed from the outset, this is an ideal platform.

The Ideal Candidate

• Newly qualified Solicitor with a background or strong interest in Litigation
• Eager to learn and develop within a supportive and experienced team
• Strong interpersonal skills with a collaborative and client-focused approach
• Commercially minded with a genuine enthusiasm for dispute resolution work

What's on Offer

• Direct mentorship from experienced and approachable senior partners
• A broad and varied litigation caseload from day one
• Genuine investment in your development and long‑term career progression
• A Legal 500 ranked firm with a collaborative and people‑first culture
• Modern Liverpool offices with hybrid working flexibility
