Save job

Our client is a global law firm that's transforming the delivery of legal services.

The successful candidate will have the chance to work with cutting-edge technology and streamlined processes to deliver efficient legal services.

The Company

Our client consider themselves a Silver Circle firm, undertaking work with clients similar to the Magic Circle firms but on reduced hours and with your wellbeing as a key priority.

You'll also be entitled to an annual bonus.

  • Overseeing daily activities and ensuring that the team delivers to both internal and external client requirements.
  • Managing expectations, tracking progress, anticipating resourcing issues, and providing timely updates.
  • Driving efforts to assess opportunities for operational process enhancements.
  • Undertaking litigation and other related billing activities, just with half the target you might be used to!

What You Bring:

As a Supervising Lawyer, your ability to manage people at all levels, your organisational skills, and your clear communication style will contribute significantly to the team's success.

  • Qualified Solicitor (preferably England & Wales)
  • 2+ years experience within any area of contentious litigation (excluding property)
