Senior Litigators - Build Your Own Practice | High-End Boutique
Commercial / Corporate Disputes | White Collar Crime | Civil Litigation
Senior Associate / Legal Director / Salaried Partner level
London (Mayfair) - Office-based
A highly respected Mayfair disputes boutique is entering its next phase of growth and is looking to hire 3-5 senior, entrepreneurial litigators across commercial disputes, civil litigation, and white-collar crime.
This is a rare opportunity to step out of the constraints of Big Law and build a practice on your own terms - with the earning potential, autonomy and influence that typically come far later in a traditional partnership track.
Why This Opportunity?
High autonomy. Zero politics. Real influence.
You'll join a lean, specialist team handling complex, high-value disputes usually associated with top-tier international firms - but without the bureaucracy or layers of hierarchy.
Exceptional earning model
Competitive base salary: £60k-£120k (flexible for exceptional originators)
40% of receipts on work you originate (billed and paid)
Private healthcare, bonus schemes, and a premium Mayfair working environment
Strong originators can out-earn many big-firm salaried partners, with far greater control and transparency.
Who This Suits
You may be:
A Senior Associate or Salaried Partner at a City or leading boutique firm
Operating in commercial/corporate disputes, civil litigation, or white-collar
Frustrated by slow or political partnership tracks
Under-rewarded for your own origination
Sitting on (or consistently generating) £500k+ in annual billings
Someone with portable relationships and a clear sense of the value of your practice
Entrepreneurial, self-managing, and motivated by personal earning potential
If you know your value and want a platform where you directly benefit from your network and reputation, this is the place.
Who It Won't Suit
Lawyers reliant on partner-fed work
Volume or process-heavy profiles (Big Four Legal, managed legal services, etc.)
Candidates with a single blockbuster case but no ongoing, durable practice
Anyone seeking remote-first or low-presence working
The Environment
Beautiful, modern Mayfair offices
Monday-Friday office presence (with reasonable flexibility)
Founders who are active fee earners - collaborative, not political
A boutique with big-firm calibre work and City-level client credibility
Interested?
If you're a disputes lawyer with £500k+ annual billings and real portable relationships, I'd love to have a confidential conversation.
Send me a message directly or email me, and we can discuss whether this could be the right platform for you.
