Senior Litigation Solicitor
Job Details
A superb opportunity has arisen for a Senior Litigation Solicitor to join a well-established and highly regarded firm in South West London. This is a strategically important hire, with succession planning at its heart, offering a clear pathway to leading the litigation team and long-term equity prospects for the right individual.
The Firm:This well-respected firm has a strong presence in South West London and is known for its technical excellence, client commitment, and collaborative culture. The litigation department has built an excellent reputation in general dispute resolution, with a particular strength in property-related litigation.
With a clear focus on sustainable growth and long-term continuity, the firm is looking to appoint a senior lawyer who can help shape the future of the department. The Opportunity:
The successful candidate will join a compact and capable litigation team, currently comprising a senior partner, a junior solicitor, a paralegal due to qualify at the end of the year, and a legal assistant. The team benefits from a steady flow of high-quality instructions across a broad range of civil and commercial matters, many with a property-related element.
This role forms a key part of the firm's wider succession plan. The incoming solicitor will have the opportunity to take on significant responsibility from an early stage, with a view to stepping into a central leadership role within the team. There is genuine scope to inherit an established caseload and client base, providing an excellent platform for further growth. What They Are Looking For:
- A Senior Litigation Solicitor with broad experience across civil and commercial disputes
- A track record of developing client relationships and ideally a modest following or evidence of business development activity
- The ambition and leadership ability to take on a long-term strategic role
- A collaborative mindset and the ability to support and guide junior colleagues
- Strong technical and interpersonal skills, with a commercial approach to problem solving
What's on Offer:
- Senior Associate or Partner title, depending on experience
- Track to equity for the right individual
- A genuine succession opportunity within a stable and well-run firm
- Autonomy, flexibility, and the chance to make a meaningful impact
- Competitive remuneration and excellent long-term career prospects
This is a rare opportunity for an ambitious litigator seeking to step into a senior role with clear prospects for department leadership and equity. If you're looking for a firm where your contribution will be recognised and your career can flourish, this could be the ideal next step.
