Job Details
Legal 500 rated international firm with one of the sterling commercial litigation teams in the North is looking for a commercial litigation lawyer at c.2-5 years PQE to join their team in Leeds.
The Leeds Commercial Disputes team is ranked Band 1 in the Legal 500 and acts on some of the largest, most complex disputes in Yorkshire and internationally. It is also a centre of excellence for several specialisms, including product liability, technology and telecoms disputes, public procurement, regulated energy and project-related proceedings and international arbitration, as well as more general commercial dispute work (warranty and misrepresentation claims, supply chain, shareholder and partnership disputes) for major corporate and public sector bodies.
The team is renowned for handling high-value, complex, cross border disputes and litigation across a wide range of sectors including IT, Consumer, Telecoms, Public Procurement and Energy. As an integral part of that team you will provide support on a wide variety of contentious work. You will also have responsibility for managing your own case load and ideally have had experience of having led small teams of people in order to take on a supervisory role to support the development of high quality junior lawyers.
A pro-active approach to marketing and business development is necessary to succeed in this role. This is a hard working but tight team with a good culture and so having strong communication skills and a good level of confidence is essential in order that you'll quickly build relationships internally and externally. Whilst this is a large firm the team is a supportive one and so can afford some element of flexibility to someone who has commitments outside of work which is a nice point of difference compared to some other similarly ranked firms.
Candidates will need to demonstrate strong technical skills and excellent academic qualifications as well as experience within a Top 100 or City Firm such that you'll have confidence acting for large commercial clients and meeting their demanding service level requirements.
Brooke Thornham Consulting advertisements use PQE levels purely as a guide to the level of experience required for the role and this does not prohibit applications from candidates who are able to demonstrate the necessary skills and experience. We aim to respond to enquiries as soon as possible but if we have not contacted you within 5 days then unfortunately on this occasion your application has not quite met the requirements of our client closely enough.
