Job Details
Commercial Litigation Solicitor
Leeds
I am working with a leading multi-service, multi-national, commercial law firm in the centre of Leeds who are looking for a talented Commercial Litigator to join their small, but market leading team.
The firm are consistently ranked regional, nationally, and globally as one of the leading litigation practices and boast a 'who's who' list of clients dealing with complex, high value, high quality work.
They are looking for an enthusiastic and talented Commercial Litigation Solicitor at the junior-mid end around 2-3 years' PQE (give or take) to join the tight knit team. Being in a smaller team there is the opportunity to get hands on with the work from the start and not have your efforts diluted as they often can be in a larger team.
The role is a broad mix of commercial litigation work but also with the option to grow into more niche areas if that is a preference in areas such as Pensions litigation, Insurance Litigation, Sanctions/Exports, Procurement and Education litigation.
The right candidate will have trained and worked at a leading national, regional or boutique practice, have excellent academics and be technically strong.
The firm despite being a large global organisation are known for giving opportunities to it's lawyers to progress and grow, a smaller team here means that if you are able to progress, and be noticed and always be involved in the more interesting work.
Salary is highly competitive with great benefits.
If you would like to hear more about the role please contact Graham Rawlinson at QED Legal for a confidential chat.

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".
