Job Description
Commercial Litigation Senior Associate (5-8 PQE)
£70,000 - £90,000 | Remote / Flexible
I'm working with a well-regarded, Legal 500-ranked firm looking to hire a Commercial Litigation Solicitor (5-8 PQE) into a lean, high-performing disputes team.
This is a number 2 role to the lead Commercial Litigation Partner — so it's genuinely hands-on, with real visibility and progression.
You'll be working across a broad mix of commercial disputes, including:
* Contractual disputes
* Shareholder disputes
* Injunctions
* Debt recovery
* Regulatory matters
It's a proper general commercial litigation role — good variety, solid work, and not overly siloed.
Why This Role
* Direct access to the Partner - not buried in layers
* Clear progression - this isn't a dead-end associate role
* Flexible working - largely remote after initial onboarding
* Consistent workflow - established client base
* Autonomy - you'll run your own matters
* £70k-£90k depending on experience
What They're Looking For
* 5-8 PQE Commercial Litigator
* Strong grounding in general commercial disputes
* Someone who can run files and handle clients confidently
* E&W Qualified
If you're at that stage where you want more than just steady work — where visibility, progression, and genuine responsibility actually matter — this is a role worth exploring. It offers the kind of platform that lets you step up without being thrown in at the deep end, within a team that values capability over hierarchy.
It won’t suit someone chasing brand name alone — but for a commercially minded litigator who wants to build, progress, and be recognised for their contribution, it’s a very compelling move.
Happy to talk through the detail confidentially.
