Commercial Litigation Solicitor

Job Description

Hampshire | £50,000-£60,000 | Hybrid working

Exclusive to Jameson Legal

An established Hampshire law firm is looking to strengthen its commercial disputes team with the appointment of a Junior Solicitor. The position offers exposure to a broad caseload, close involvement with experienced colleagues and scope to assume greater responsibility as your experience develops.

The role:

The team advises on contractual disputes, shareholder and partnership issues, and professional negligence claims. You will contribute to more complex litigation while taking responsibility for work suited to your level of qualification. Client communication and involvement in case strategy form an important part of the opportunity.

The candidate:

Applications are welcomed from newly qualified Solicitors with a substantial litigation seat and Lawyers with approximately two years' PQE. Commercial disputes experience is desirable, but a broader contentious background will also be considered where there is a genuine interest in developing this specialism. Clear communication, sound organisation and an interest in building client relationships will be important. There is flexibility on qualification level for relevant experience.

The opportunity:

The indicative salary is £50,000 for a newly qualified Solicitor, rising to £60,000 for an appropriately experienced candidate at around two years' PQE. Hybrid working is available, although regular attendance at the office will be particularly important initially. Jameson Legal is handling this instruction exclusively, and interview availability has been arranged.

For a confidential discussion about the role and the firm, please get in touch with James Wheelhouse, Associate Director.

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.

Our consultants will review your application and assess your suitability. 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.
