Overview
North Somerset Council is looking for an experienced Litigation Solicitor to join a small, friendly, and highly capable legal team. Permanent role. Largely home-working. A genuinely varied caseload.
The work
This is not a bulk-processing role. You will handle a broad mix of civil and criminal litigation across a range of public law contexts, including planning enforcement, trading standards, licensing appeals, and judicial review pre-action protocol correspondence. Advisory work also features. If you like intellectual diversity in your day-to-day practice, this delivers it.
The team
Four lawyers. Supportive, experienced, and collaborative. Internal stakeholders who value the legal function. This is a team worth joining.
The practicalities
Court attendance is roughly twice a month, primarily at Weston-super-Mare and Bristol. The rest of your time is remote. You will need to be a confident advocate and comfortable with criminal procedure rules, but you do not need to have covered every element of the caseload already.
What’s on offer
Up to 34 days annual leave (plus the option to buy a further 10)
Flexible and home working as standard
A genuine commitment to wellbeing and work/life balance
