The Role

This firm is looking to hire a solicitor in Commercial Litigation with around 4 years PQE to join its successful Tier 1 City of London team.

This position offers a varied caseload with the primary emphasis on arbitration. The work is of the highest quality - usually reserved for the largest City firms.

You will be handling complicated and large-scale matters, often with a cross-border or international element. Previous experience of cross border matters will therefore be advantageous.

You will be given the opportunity to lead on advocacy, both written and oral. The firm boasts an illustrious client list made up of businesses, banks and financial institutions, ultra-high net worth individuals and educational establishments.

Ranked Tier 1 in the Legal 500, this is an exceptional team to work with, where you will benefit from insight from the leading lawyers in the country. There are strong prospects for career progression and opportunities to engage in business development initiatives - such as writing articles and attending networking events.

This opportunity is ideal for someone who wants to take their career in litigation to new heights in the City of London.
