Job description
A highly respected Litigation specialist firm is currently seeking an experienced Commercial Litigation Solicitor to join, due to their continued success and expansion plans.
The successful Commercial Litigation Solicitor will join a small team including ex-Magic Circle Lawyers and Barristers in their growing office in Canterbury. There is flexibility within this role, allowing the new Commercial Litigation Solicitor to either be employed by the business or work as a Consultant on a fee-share basis.
The firm is known for its involvement in large high-profile cases covering criminal, insolvency, international arbitration, and group action cases, servicing clients in West/East Kent and London. They are looking to expand their offerings to include lower-value, broader work, and the successful candidate will be involved in business development activities, supported by the Partners.
The ideal candidate will offer the following skills:
1. Be at least 4 years PQE with experience in commercial litigation, group action claims, insolvency, or white-collar crime.
2. Have gained experience in a reputable regional or London law firm.
3. Ideally have an existing following.
4. Experience or interest in business development.
5. Have local links to Kent.
6. Be client-focused with a commercial awareness.
You will work in attractive offices with friendly and supportive colleagues, where Solicitors and Barristers collaborate to provide a "one-stop shop" for clients. The package includes a generous salary (if employed), benefits such as parking, and if working as a Consultant, a 70:30 fee share. Hybrid working is available, with 1-2 days in the office per week after an initial settling-in period.
GWV Talent Solutions Limited (trading as Gerrard White Consulting and Vermelo RPO) acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment and as an employment business for temporary and contract workers. By applying, you agree to our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, available on our website.
