I'm working with a fantastic, established law firm in Reading who are looking to bring a Dispute Resolution Solicitor into their team and it's an opportunity well worth putting on your radar.

This is a chance to join a well-resourced, collaborative team, work alongside experienced Partners and senior lawyers, get involved in some really interesting matters and continue building your career without having to sacrifice everything outside of it.

Let's Talk Work…

Forget being restricted to the same handful of matters day in, day out. The team handles a broad spectrum of commercial and property disputes, giving you exposure to a varied and interesting caseload, including:

• Commercial and contractual disputes.
• Corporate disputes, including shareholder, partnership and breach of warranty claims.
• Restrictive covenant disputes.
• Technology and construction disputes.
• Insolvency-related litigation.
• Professional negligence claims.

You'll also have the opportunity to work closely with other specialist teams across the firm, including Corporate, Commercial & Technology, Employment and Property. There's plenty of scope to develop your technical expertise, build strong client relationships and get involved in the wider development of the practice.

Who Will You Be Joining?

An established team where you'll have the opportunity to take ownership of your matters, work with a good degree of autonomy (appropriate to your experience) and benefit from the knowledge and support of experienced colleagues around you.

And the firm itself? A well-established name in the Thames Valley legal market, offering a broad range of specialist legal services and a working environment that recognises good lawyers are people outside the office!

Who Am I Looking to Speak With?

• Dispute Resolution Solicitors with around 3-8 years' PQE who have experience handling commercial litigation matters and are looking for an opportunity to continue developing their expertise within an established team.
• You'll ideally have experience across some of the areas above, strong technical and drafting skills, confidence managing your own matters and an interest in developing client relationships and contributing to business development.

Now, The Bit About the Benefits... Because They Matter!

• Up to £75,000 salary + bonus.
• 25 days holiday (28 days at Senior Associate level) + birthday leave
• Private Medical Insurance and other wellbeing benefits.
• Life assurance at 5x salary.
• The option to purchase an additional five days' annual leave.
• Season ticket travel loan and cycle-to-work scheme.
• Charity volunteering allowance.
• Regular social events and a dog-friendly office.

If You're Still Reading...

You don't need to be actively looking or fed up with your current firm to have a conversation. Sometimes it's just worth knowing what's happening elsewhere, particularly when an opportunity offers interesting work, a strong team, a competitive package and a little more balance!
