Competition Litigation Associate (3–5 PQE) – London
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a 3–5 PQE Competition Litigation Associate to join a highly regarded Magic Circle firm in London, known for handling complex, high-profile disputes with a strong cross-border dimension.
The team advises on a wide range of competition litigation matters, including follow-on damages claims, collective actions, and cartel-related disputes before the CAT and High Court. Clients include major global corporates and financial institutions across diverse sectors.
This role offers the chance to work in a close-knit team environment where associates are given meaningful responsibility from the outset, collaborating directly with partners and senior lawyers on landmark cases. The work is varied and intellectually stimulating – spanning multi-jurisdictional disputes and strategic litigation.
Key Requirements:
* UK-qualified lawyer with 3–5 years’ post-qualification experience
* Strong academic background
* Solid grounding in competition litigation, ideally with exposure to CAT proceedings and private enforcement
* Experience at a leading international or US law firm preferred
* Commercially astute, collaborative, and motivated to grow within a high-performing team
What Makes This Role Stand Out:
* High level of partner access and mentorship
* Collegial, ambitious team culture
* Opportunity to work on cutting-edge cases shaping competition law
* Exposure to global disputes and cross-border strategy
