Litigation Solicitor

Litigation Solicitor – Nottingham (Hybrid)

You know the rhythm of litigation: the early strategy calls, the careful unpicking of risk, the decisive moments that move a case forward. This role gives you the space to own that story — shaping outcomes, strengthening client relationships and driving commercially smart solutions from start to finish.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Litigation Solicitor (5+ PQE or Chartered Legal Executive with higher rights) to join a high‑performing team specialising in landlord and tenant matters. You’ll be the trusted adviser clients turn to when the stakes are high — offering clarity, confidence and commercially focused guidance.

Based in Nottingham, the role offers hybrid working, with attendance in the office once a week or at least once a fortnight to stay connected with the team.

• You’ll take ownership of a varied litigation caseload, driving momentum and delivering results through:
• Proactive client engagement, capturing detailed instructions and offering clear, commercially grounded advice.
• Strategic case direction, identifying risks, opportunities and the most advantageous route forward.
• High‑quality drafting, from correspondence to complex legal documents, tailored to each client’s objectives.
• Thorough legal research and analysis, ensuring every recommendation is accurate and up to date.
• Confident communication with clients, colleagues and opposing solicitors to progress matters effectively.
• Transparent cost management, keeping clients informed and expectations aligned.
• Meticulous document review, ensuring accuracy, compliance and risk control.
• Strong financial ownership, including time recording, billing and meeting personal performance targets.
• Collaboration, contributing to a supportive, knowledge‑sharing team environment.
• Client meetings, spotting opportunities to add value and deepen relationships.
• Continuous development, staying ahead of legal and commercial changes through CPD and case law updates.

• Solid experience in civil litigation (property management litigation is a bonus).
• Strong commercial awareness and a results‑driven mindset.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to high‑quality work.
• Confident written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines with calm efficiency.
• Experience using case management systems (Proclaim is desirable).
• A proactive, motivated approach — someone who takes ownership and pushes for success.

If you’re ready to step into a role where your litigation expertise is valued, your commercial instincts are encouraged and your growth is supported, this could be your next move.
