Job Description

A leading specialist disputes firm is looking to recruit a strong junior criminal litigation Solicitor to assist with their growing private prosecutions practice in London.

Private prosecutions remain a relatively niche area of the market, making this an excellent opportunity for a junior criminal litigation Solicitor to develop specialist expertise while working on a significant, high-profile fraud matter. Joining a specialist London team, you will play a central role in preparing a substantial private prosecution arising from an alleged tax fraud, with further work in this area already on the horizon.n

Working alongside experienced practitioners, you will be heavily involved in drafting, evidence gathering and forensic case analysis, helping to build complex cases from the ground up. This is a role for someone who enjoys the detail of criminal litigation and takes pride in producing meticulous, well-prepared cases for court.n

Applications are sought from England & Wales-qualified Solicitors with around 1-3 years' PQE and a solid grounding in criminal litigation. You will have experience preparing and progressing cases through the criminal courts, ideally involving fraud or other financial crime, and possess the analytical ability, attention to detail and sound judgement needed to work on sophisticated private prosecutions.n

Offering close mentoring, early responsibility and exposure to complex, high-value matters, this is a rare opportunity to establish yourself in an evolving and intellectually stimulating area of criminal practice.n

To find out more about this role and others we are handling, please get in touch with David Von Dadelszen in complete confidence.n

Please note that where a level of preferred experience or qualification is indicated, this is a guideline only and does not preclude applications from candidates with more or less experience.n

We endeavour to respond to all applications within 72 hours, however due to the volume of applications we receive we may not be able to respond to every candidate individually and would advise that if you do not hear from us you should assume you are not successful in your application.
