Pure Search are one of only two agencies instructed by a leading international law firm who are looking to grow their Commercial Litigation team at 2-5PQE.
The Firm:
Despite their presence and stature internationally, our client represents a relative anomaly amongst the larger City firms, with no billable targets and a clear focus on their lawyers having a genuine work/life balance away from the office.
Joining the firm's Commercial Litigation team, you will be exposed to a range of litigation and arbitration, with a clear focus on Technology, Media and IP disputes. The team is well-balanced and established, with partners taking a hands-on investment in their associates' time and career development.
The Role:
Acting for a broad range of clients, from major multinationals through to innovative start-ups, you will be exposed to matters including:
* Commercial Litigation
* IP and IT Disputes (focus on copyright litigation - No previous IP experience is required)
* Contractual Disputes;
* Digital Media and Confidentiality Disputes;
* Financial Services and Corporate Disputes.
Recent work within the team has included advising on one of the most-high profile tech cases in the UK, an appeal in excess of £1bn in an international arbitration, and advising a leading advertising brand in a digital media dispute.
About You:
You will be a qualified Solicitor with at least 2-years post-qualification experience from a leading City or international law firm. Our client is looking for someone that is a strong litigator and, whilst no previous experience of TMT disputes is required, you should have a clear interest in the tech, telecoms and media sectors. The team place a big emphasis on their lawyers taking control of matters and are particularly interested in associates who have taken a leading role on matters.
