Job Description:
I'm working with a forward-thinking law firm that’s carving out a strong name in complex recoveries and technical litigation. They are growing their specialist recoveries team and are looking for an ambitious and commercially aware Assistant Solicitor to join the department.
The Opportunity:
This is a chance to move away from traditional, volume-based work into a more intellectually engaging role. The firm has a data-driven and customer-focused approach, with a team that deals with a wide range of complex, often defended matters.
The role sits within their technical litigation team, which handles higher-value or contested matters that require strategic thinking and close collaboration with clients.
The Work:
You will manage a diverse caseload, including:
* Defended mortgage possession proceedings
* Title disputes and disputes over ownership of goods
* Guarantor claims and satisfactory quality claims
* Breach of contract, misrepresentation and defended money claims
* Third party applications, bankruptcy, conversion and more
This team handles the firm’s most complex litigation work. You will have regular client contact, contribute to service development and help shape how litigation services are delivered.
What They’re Looking For:
* Solicitor (NQ to 4 years PQE) or CILEX-qualified
* Experience in debt recovery, commercial litigation or financial services disputes is useful but not essential
* Strong understanding of CPR and general litigation procedure
* Someone confident working directly with clients, including institutional lenders
* A genuine interest in improving how legal services are delivered in this area
You do not need to come from a big-name City firm. The focus is on practical litigation skills, commercial awareness and a willingness to take ownership of your caseload.
Why Consider This Role?
* Join a niche but well-established practice that is growing in both scale and reputation
* Work closely with senior lawyers and high-quality clients from day one
* A supportive, collaborative culture with flexibility and autonomy
* Excellent opportunity to grow in a technically challenging but rewarding practice area
If this sounds like your kind of challenge, I’d be happy to share more. It is a genuinely interesting position within a team that does things differently, with the quality of work to match.
