An exciting opportunity to take full ownership of a newly forming litigation department at a fast-growing disputes firm based near Temple.

Who we’re looking for:

• A qualified solicitor or FCILEX with 6+ PQE and proven litigation experience.
• A background in financial mis-selling, energy litigation, or complex consumer claims.
• Experience managing teams, setting precedent libraries, and driving casework from the front.
• Commercially minded and excited by the prospect of building something new.
• Ideally available at short notice and happy to be based onsite near Temple initially.

Why this role?

This is a rare chance to join a firm at a pivotal growth point and take full control of a new department with ready-to-run claims, internal backing, and long-term career potential. If you’re a senior litigator looking to lead, shape, and grow — this is your opportunity.
