I am currently working with the dispute resolution team of a top UK law firm in London looking to recruit a Senior Associate into their expanding team.

The successful candidate must have experience of high value litigation across a broad range of industry sector and be at least UK qualified. They must be confident in managing client relationships, workloads and priorities.

• Excellent case management skills and can run client matters (or parts of larger matters) with minimal assistance from Partners.
• Client focused with an ability to command the trust and confidence of our clients who expect a first class service.

This is an opportunity to join a growing team which is recognised for its capability to advise clients on a wide variety of complex, large scale disputes.
