Job Details

Commercial Litigation Solicitor

North East

One of the North East's leading full-service commercial firms are looking for an experienced Commercial Litigation Solicitor to join their growing team.

The Firm act for a wide range of clients from regional businesses to blue chip national and international/global organisations.

The firm is very different to larger national practices and you will get access to top quality work from the outset. The team is really busy and have taken on 2 commercial litigators in the last 6 months with client instructions continuing to grow.

The sweet spot in terms of PQE would be around 6 years however the firm will look at ambitious Solicitors with excess of 3 years' PQE if you are comfortable running your own caseload and providing pragmatic commercial advice to commercial clients.

This is a broad Commercial Litigation role, but the firm will look at those who have specialised in a particular area (commercial) of litigation but are looking to experience a more varied and balanced caseload.

The firm is smaller than some national practices, but the quality and calibre of work and lawyer is high and comparable to anything in the north. There is more of a family feel here than at a soulless larger practice.

Salary is dependent on the experience of the candidate and the firm will pay as well as anyone else in the North East for the right candidate.

If you would like to hear more about the role then please contact Graham Rawlinson at QED Legal for more detail.

An acronym of the latin phrase quod erat demonstrandum which translates as "thus it is demonstrated" or "that which was to be demonstrated".

In recent times it has also been translated as "Quite Easily Done".
