Job Description

I'm working with a well-established law firm in Eastbourne that's looking to bring in a Civil Litigation Lawyer to join their busy and growing team. This is a rare opportunity, created due to continued demand rather than turnover.

What's particularly appealing about this role is the breadth of work on offer. You'll get exposure to a genuinely varied caseload, making it a great fit for someone who enjoys a mix of litigation matters rather than being siloed into one niche area.

The role itself

You'll be joining a thriving litigation team, handling your own caseload across a broad range of civil disputes, including:

  • Property disputes
  • Landlord and tenant matters
  • Commercial disputes
  • Employment related issues

There's a strong emphasis on client contact, so you'll be dealing directly with clients both over the phone and face to face, building relationships and providing a high level of service throughout.

Who this would suit
  • A qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with 2+ years' PQE
  • Someone with solid experience across civil litigation matters
  • Confident communicator with strong client care skills
  • Organised, proactive, and detail oriented
  • Comfortable managing their own caseload independently
  • Someone with an interest in networking and business development
What you'll get in return
  • The chance to handle a genuinely varied and interesting caseload
  • A role with real responsibility and client exposure from day one
  • Support to develop both technically and commercially
  • A collaborative team where people pull together rather than compete
  • Opportunities to get involved in business development and networking
  • A competitive salary, bonus structure, and benefits package

This is a great option for a Civil Litigation Lawyer who wants to broaden their experience, work closely with clients, and be part of a firm that values both professional development and long term progression.
