Litigation Solicitor – Nottingham (Hybrid)
Craft your next chapter in a role where litigation expertise, commercial instinct and client partnership truly matter. You know the rhythm of litigation: the early strategy calls, the careful unpicking of risk, the decisive moments that move a case forward. This role gives you the space to own that story — shaping outcomes, strengthening client relationships and driving commercially smart solutions from start to finish.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Litigation Solicitor (5+ PQE or Chartered Legal Executive with higher rights) to join a high‑performing team specialising in landlord and tenant matters. You’ll be the trusted adviser clients turn to when the stakes are high — offering clarity, confidence and commercially focused guidance. Based in Nottingham, the role offers hybrid working, with attendance in the office once a week or at least once a fortnight to stay connected with the team.
What You’ll Be Doing
* You’ll take ownership of a varied litigation caseload, driving momentum and delivering results through:
* Proactive client engagement, capturing detailed instructions and offering clear, commercially grounded advice.
* Strategic case direction, identifying risks, opportunities and the most advantageous route forward.
* High‑quality drafting, from correspondence to complex legal documents, tailored to each client’s objectives.
* Thorough legal research and analysis, ensuring every recommendation is accurate and up to date.
* Confident communication with clients, colleagues and opposing solicitors to progress matters effectively.
* Transparent cost management, keeping clients informed and expectations aligned.
* Meticulous document review, ensuring accuracy, compliance and risk control.
* Strong financial ownership, including time recording, billing and meeting personal performance targets.
* Collaboration, contributing to a supportive, knowledge‑sharing team environment.
* Client meetings, spotting opportunities to add value and deepen relationships.
* Continuous development, staying ahead of legal and commercial changes through CPD and case law updates.
What You’ll Bring
* Solid experience in civil litigation (property management litigation is a bonus).
* Strong commercial awareness and a results‑driven mindset.
* Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to high‑quality work.
* Confident written and verbal communication skills.
* Ability to manage multiple deadlines with calm efficiency.
* Experience using case management systems (Proclaim is desirable).
* A proactive, motivated approach — someone who takes ownership and pushes for success.
If you’re ready to step into a role where your litigation expertise is valued, your commercial instincts are encouraged and your growth is supported, this could be your next move.
