When things get contentious, we bring calm heads and sharp thinking to the table. You’ll be joining a busy and fast-growing team ranked Tier One in The Legal 500, regularly acting on high-value and complex disputes for commercial clients across the UK.
You’ll have the opportunity to handle a varied caseload with supervision and support, including matters involving commercial contract disputes, insolvency litigation, shareholder disputes, and property litigation.
Day to day, you will draft legal documents, correspondence, reports and attending client meetings. The role also involves representing clients in negotiations, mediations, and court proceedings, while providing clear, commercially focused advice across a wide range of issues. In addition, you will support senior lawyers and play an active role in contributing to the team’s knowledge and ongoing development. You’ll also work closely with our Corporate and Commercial team on matters where litigation expertise adds real value.
We’re open to applicants from a range of backgrounds, and while prior experience in commercial or insolvency litigation is desirable, it isn’t essential. To meet client needs, the role can be based at our dedicated workspace within Flok, a vibrant co-working hub in Teesside that promotes collaboration and innovation, with visits to the Durham office.
We’ve been recognised as a top-tier firm in The Legal 500, acting for major commercial clients across the UK.
We get to the heart of a problem and resolve it—pragmatically, quickly, and effectively.
