Commercial Litigation Solicitor

Dorking – £65,000


 
Senior Commercial Litigation Solicitor
We’re looking for an experienced litigator to join a well established regional firm with a busy, varied commercial disputes practice. If you like working on weighty, sometimes messy matters—shareholder fall-outs, partnership rows, insolvencies, the odd cross-border scrap—this might suit you.

The role
  • Run your own caseload from first call through to trial or settlement.
  • Keep clients in the loop, steer strategy, and fight their corner in court or mediation.
  • Team up with colleagues in other practice areas when a dispute touches their patch.
  • Help bring in work and look after the relationships we already have.
  • Guide juniors—review drafts, talk tactics, show them the ropes.
What we’d love to see
  • Solid background in commercial litigation (PQE is less important than the quality of matters you’ve handled).
  • Comfortable on your feet and in negotiations; cool head under pressure.
  • Decent grasp of cross-border issues and enforcement, or a willingness to learn fast.
  • Clear writing, sharp analysis, good time-keeping, no dramas.
Why us?
  • Interesting work with real responsibility from day one.
  • Supportive, down-to-earth team; no elbow-throwing.
  • Flexible working and a culture that trusts you to get the job done.
  • Competitive package with a clear path to progress.
If that sounds like a good fit, let’s have a chat.
