Job Details

Legal 500 firm with a strong presence throughout Northern England that can offer a great opportunity to deal with a high calibre of work whilst striking a happy work/life balance.

My client is seeking an NQ - 8 year PQE Solicitor to join their regionally recognised team and run their own caseload of a broad mix of commercial litigation matters. This role will be based in the heart of Lancashire within easy distance of motorway links as well as local parking.

You will be managing a mixed caseload of property litigation, professional negligence, insolvency, shareholder disputes, partnership disputes and trusts & estate disputes. You will be working closely with a partner and will be exposed to highly complex commercial litigation matters which require a great deal of commercial acumen. There is a clear progression path in place so therefore you will be afforded the opportunity to progress and to fit into the firms growth structure.

The quality of work is of the highest nature and rivals city style work as you will be dealing with blue chip companies, FTSE listed clients and international organisations as well as successful local SME's.

This is a tremendous opportunity to base yourself in a top tier Northern law firm and expose yourself to great quality work in a beautiful part of the world! Salary level based on PQE however salary will be above market rate for the area due to the commercial nature of this firm.

QED
An acronym of the latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum which translates as "thus it is demonstrated" or "that which was to be demonstrated". It is most often used as an annotation at the end of a complex mathematical, scientific or philosophical argument to show that the author had proven what he had set out to prove. In recent times it has also been translated as "Quite Easily Done".
