Firm: Market-Leading Debt Recovery Practice | High-Growth Environment
Salary: Lucrative Salary + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
The Role & The Work
This is an opportunity to step into a forward-thinking, Tier 1-ranked, Debt Recovery environment where legal expertise, technology and commercial strategy converge to redefine how debt and asset recovery is delivered.
You will join a high-performing team at the forefront of financial services litigation, acting for some of the most innovative and recognisable organisations in the sector. The work is fast-paced, high-volume and intellectually engaging, requiring not just technical ability, but strategic thinking and commercial instinct.
From the outset, you will manage a complex caseload of unsecured debt recovery matters from instruction through to resolution, navigating litigation, negotiation and enforcement with precision and efficiency. But beyond the day-to-day, you will play a key role in shaping how the team operates, driving smarter processes, influencing strategy and contributing to the evolution of a growing business line.
This is a team that embraces modern legal delivery, leveraging systems, data and collaboration to achieve better outcomes for clients. You will be encouraged to think differently, challenge traditional approaches and contribute to a culture that values innovation as much as execution.
As a key member of the team, you will also support and mentor junior lawyers, helping to develop the next generation of talent while strengthening the team’s long-term capability.
For those looking to move beyond a purely transactional role, this is a chance to step into something more strategic, visible and future-facing, within a firm that is investing heavily in its people, its platform and its growth.

- Strong background in debt recovery and litigation
- Proven ability to manage high-volume caseloads effectively
