Solicitor Advocate / Barrister Opportunities – Legal 500 Firm

Looking to develop your advocacy career without compromising on work-life balance?

I am working with a leading Legal 500 law firm that is expanding its advocacy team and is looking to recruit at multiple levels. This is an excellent opportunity to join an established, nationally recognised legal business offering high-quality work, genuine career development and a working culture that puts its people first.

The firm specialises in insurance litigation and legal services, working with major insurers, businesses and other organisations across the UK. With an extensive national practice, a strong reputation in its market and a forward-thinking approach to legal services, it offers the opportunity to develop your advocacy expertise within a well-established and highly regarded team.

The opportunity

The firm is keen to speak with experienced Solicitor Advocates and Barristers, but is equally interested in qualified Solicitors with a strong fee-earning background who are looking to transition into advocacy. Full training and support will be provided to help the right candidates make this move.

They are also open to candidates from public sector backgrounds who have advocacy experience and are looking to take their careers in a new direction.

Depending on experience, the roles will offer the opportunity to develop your advocacy practice, work on a varied range of litigation matters and build your expertise within a specialist team.

Why consider this opportunity?

• Enjoy the flexibility of working from home, with attendance at court in person as required.
• A genuine commitment to work-life balance: Staff satisfaction and wellbeing are central to the firm's culture, with a real emphasis on creating a positive and sustainable working environment.
• Training and development: For qualified fee earners looking to move into advocacy, the firm is willing to invest in your development and provide the training needed to make that transition.
• A recognised legal brand: Join a Legal 500 firm with an established reputation in insurance litigation and a substantial national practice.
• Varied advocacy work: Develop your experience across a range of hearings and litigation matters, with opportunities to broaden your technical expertise.
• Long-term career potential: Become part of an established team where you can continue to develop your skills and progress professionally.

Who should apply?

I would be particularly interested in hearing from:

• Qualified Solicitor Advocates and Barristers with existing advocacy experience.
• Qualified Solicitors currently working in fee-earning roles who are keen to move into advocacy.
• Candidates with public sector experience and an advocacy background who are interested in exploring a new opportunity.

Whether you are already an established advocate or are looking to make the move into advocacy with the right training and support, this could be an excellent next step.
