Job Description
Disputes Solicitor – High-Volume Litigation (Supervisory)
Location: Kent (3 days onsite, 2 days remote)
Contract: Temp-to-Perm | Immediate Start
Accuflex is working with a well-established legal services provider to recruit a solicitor for a 6-month temp-to-perm position within a high-performing consumer credit disputes team.
This opportunity is ideal for a confident litigator with supervisory experience, a strong sense of integrity, and an interest in meaningful, high-volume dispute resolution.
The Role
You will oversee a caseload of over 200 litigation matters and provide day-to-day supervision to a team of up to three paralegals. The work relates to consumer credit claims and involves debt recovery.
The majority of claims are undefended (progressed via default judgment), with around 30% defended through to trial or resolved via ADR (alternative dispute resolution). The successful candidate will be instrumental in delivering strategic oversight, legal excellence, and operational support.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Manage a busy litigation caseload from pre-action to final hearing
2. Supervise junior team members and provide legal oversight
3. Draft pleadings, assess liability, and contribute to resolution strategy
