Commercial Litigation Senior Associate (5-8 PQE)

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:

  • 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

What They’re Looking For

  • 5-8 PQE Commercial Litigator
  • 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.
