International Arbitration Solicitor | 2–3 PQE | London

We’re working on an excellent opportunity for an International Arbitration solicitor to join the London office of a leading disputes firm.

International arbitration is at the heart of the London practice. The team handles complex, high-stakes and politically sensitive matters for corporates, investors, funds and sovereign states, often working across multiple jurisdictions.

The successful candidate will gain exposure to:

  • Investor–state and commercial arbitration
  • Energy and infrastructure disputes
  • Sovereign claims and sanctions-related matters
  • Shareholder, joint venture and post-M&A disputes
  • Enforcement of arbitral awards
  • Proceedings under ICSID, UNCITRAL, ICC and LCIA rules

Candidate requirements:

  • A solicitor with approximately 2–3 years’ PQE
  • Strong international arbitration experience gained at a top London law firm
  • Demonstrable investor–state arbitration experience (this is essential)
  • Experience working on complex, cross-border disputes
  • Excellent drafting, analytical and case-management skills
  • A strong academic background and genuine interest in international disputes

This is a rare opportunity to join a specialist, highly international team working on some of the most significant disputes in the market. The firm offers high levels of responsibility, close partner contact and excellent long-term development.

If this has caught your interest, I’d love to hear from you. You can apply via the link or contact me directly at pascale@rutherfordsearch.com or WhatsApp on +44 7452 337302.
