Job description

Portfolio are proud to represent our clients in their search for a Solicitor. Due to growth and the launch of new products, we are expanding the team so this is a really exciting time to join the business! We are looking for a bright, confident Solicitor, either newly qualified with a hunger to learn and assume responsability for your own caseload; or tenured, with strong commercial, corporate, civil and/or employment law experience, to work in a dynamic team covering a broad range of legal matters including the preparation and conduct of litigation. A specialism in Employment Law would be a desirable skill for this position, but not essential as they do deal with a broad spectrum of matters across commercial, corporate and civil. The ideal candidate will have directly relevant experience and will relish assuming responsibility for a caseload in a fast-paced but supportive team environment. The focus is on remarkable client service and care, along with a firm commercial approach towards enhancing the firm’s reputation. We are looking for someone with exceptional communication skills to provide commercial and pragmatic advice to clients and a range of stakeholders within the Group.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Conduct of County Court Litigation
• Regulatory investigations, interviews under caution, inquests and prosecutions arising from accidents/incidents at work;
• Commercial legal advice, Dispute Resolution and potential Mergers and Acquisitions
• Non-contentious employment law issues and handling Employment Tribunal cases
• Advice and assistance to companies and associated businesses within the Group

What you Bring to the Team

• Experience across a good range of practice areas within a leading Law Firm or In House.
• A real commitment to remarkable client service
• A positive approach to a busy workload, team ethic and business development
• A commercially focused approach with the ability to communicate with a range of clients and stakeholders.

Why Join our Team?

This is a really great opportunity to assume significant responsibility from the start of your tenure and get real job satisfaction from problem solving, developing relationships with clients and businesses across the Group.
