You’ll work alongside experienced colleagues in litigation and real estate, with direct exposure to clients and plenty of autonomy.

• A senior solicitor with strong experience in both residential and commercial property litigation
• Ability to handle a varied caseload independently, including complex or high-value matters
• Commercial awareness and the confidence to deal directly with clients
• A collaborative approach with a desire to mentor junior team members and support business development

What’s On Offer:

• £55,000–£75,000 salary depending on experience
• Hybrid working (3 days in-office, 2 remote)
• Collegiate, growing team with clear room for progression
• Autonomy and responsibility from day one
• A modern, commercially-focused firm without the red tape of larger practices

This is a rare opportunity to join a dynamic firm where your voice will be heard, your ideas valued, and your career given space to grow. Ideal for a senior litigator looking to make a real impact.
