A leading Legal 500 firm with a stellar reputation, this practice operates from offices in both SW London and the City. They are known for delivering City-level service without the corporate edge – offering an approachable, collaborative culture with a strong focus on client care.
Renowned for their modern and commercially minded approach, due to growth they are actively seeking a Senior Associate to join its Dispute Resolution team.

The Role
The team is currently structured with a Partner/HOD, two Associates, and two Trainees. As the HOD also manages firmwide compliance, they are seeking a Senior Associate who can offer both technical litigation strength and day-to-day support in team leadership and oversight.

Key Responsibilities:
* To undertake a high-level mixed caseload of civil, property and commercial disputes resolution matters including contentious probate
* Actively contribute to the growth of the Dispute Resolution department through networking and business development
* Supervisory responsibilities i.e. mentoring, managing performance and development of juniors and trainee solicitors
Who they are looking for:
* Qualified Litigation Solicitor with at least 7 years PQE across a broad mix of civil and commercial matters including property disputes and contentious probate
* Excellent Business Development experience with the desire to contribute to the continued growth of the firm
* Ability to manage junior team members, ensuring high performance and professional development
* Excellent organisational skills
* Strong interpersonal and communication skills to build positive relationships with clients, team members and wider firm.
What they offer:
* Hybrid working (3 days in office / 2 from home)
* Pension
* Discretionary bonus scheme
* Annual salary reviews
