Are you a seasoned litigator tired of red tape and rigid hierarchies? Ready to take real ownership of your work within a small, collaborative, and high-performing team?
A niche and respected commercial litigation law firm is looking for a senior commercial litigator to join its close-knit team. Based in the South West, the firm punches well above its weight – regularly handling complex, high-value disputes that compete with work from much larger law firms.
The Role:
This is a rare opportunity to work on top-tier litigation matters while enjoying genuine flexibility and autonomy. The caseload includes:
• Shareholder and boardroom disputes
• Complex contractual litigation
• Professional negligence (non-insurance based)
• A wide variety of other contentious commercial matters
What They’re Looking For:
• A broad commercial litigation background (not overly niche or specialist – i.e., not insurance/finance/professional indemnity)
• Someone Bristol or South West based – the team values some regular office presence
• A team player who thrives in a non-hierarchical, grown-up working environment
• Lawyers from 8PQE right up to Partner level
Why Apply?
• Exceptional quality of work without the politics
• Fast-track to partnership – proven promotion track record
• Competitive salary
• Flexible, full or part-time options
• Real autonomy over your clients
• A firm that values collaboration and balance as much as it values excellence
💬 “It’s a rare find – city-quality litigation, autonomy, and a genuine work-life balance.”
