5. Banking
6. Property/construction disputes
7. Miscellaneous business-related litigation

You will be a qualified solicitor with ideally between 5-8 years PQE and solid experience handling a range of commercial litigation matters. You will be able to demonstrate a commitment to delivering a high standard of service and have a high degree of personal integrity, commitment to fairness, diversity and equality.
