Senior Litigators - Build Your Own Practice | High-End Boutique

Commercial / Corporate Disputes | White Collar Crime | Civil Litigation

Senior Associate / Legal Director / Salaried Partner level

London (Mayfair) - Office-based

A highly respected Mayfair disputes boutique is entering its next phase of growth and is looking to hire 3-5 senior, entrepreneurial litigators across commercial disputes, civil litigation, and white-collar crime.

This is a rare opportunity to step out of the constraints of Big Law and build a practice on your own terms - with the earning potential, autonomy and influence that typically come far later in a traditional partnership track.

Why This Opportunity?

High autonomy. Zero politics. Real influence.

You'll join a lean, specialist team handling complex, high-value disputes usually associated with top-tier international firms - but without the bureaucracy or layers of hierarchy.

Exceptional earning model

• Competitive base salary: £60k-£120k (flexible for exceptional originators)
• 40% of receipts on work you originate (billed and paid)
• Private healthcare, bonus schemes, and a premium Mayfair working environment

Strong originators can out-earn many big-firm salaried partners, with far greater control and transparency.

Who This Suits

You may be:

• A Senior Associate or Salaried Partner at a City or leading boutique firm
• Operating in commercial/corporate disputes, civil litigation, or white-collar
• Frustrated by slow or political partnership tracks
• Under-rewarded for your own origination
• Sitting on (or consistently generating) £500k+ in annual billings
• Someone with portable relationships and a clear sense of the value of your practice
• Entrepreneurial, self-managing, and motivated by personal earning potential

If you know your value and want a platform where you directly benefit from your network and reputation, this is the place.

Who It Won't Suit

• Lawyers reliant on partner-fed work
• Volume or process-heavy profiles (Big Four Legal, managed legal services, etc.)
• Candidates with a single blockbuster case but no ongoing, durable practice
• Anyone seeking remote-first or low-presence working

The Environment

• Beautiful, modern Mayfair offices
• Monday-Friday office presence (with reasonable flexibility)
• Founders who are active fee earners - collaborative, not political
• A boutique with big-firm calibre work and City-level client credibility

Interested?

If you're a disputes lawyer with £500k+ annual billings and real portable relationships, I'd love to have a confidential conversation.

Send me a message directly or email me, and we can discuss whether this could be the right platform for you.
