Legal Director- Litigation & Credit Enforcement Insolvency Litigation Enforcement Strategy Direct Commercial Ownership in a Lending Business East Midlands 150,000 - 200,000 DOE + Bonus + Benefits including LTIP Commutable from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Warwickshire, North Oxfordshire, South East Birmingham, Solihull, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, North Hertfordshire (with flexibility for the right individual) The Context An established and growing specialist finance business is seeking to appoint a senior legal professional to take ownership of litigation, recoveries and enforcement across a live lending portfolio. The organisation operates in a fast-moving, commercially driven environment where legal decisions directly influence financial outcomes. It is not a business where legal operates at a distance. Instead, it sits at the centre of decision-making, working alongside credit and finance to manage risk, protect asset value and resolve complex lending situations. This appointment represents a key addition to the senior leadership structure, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer. The role has been deliberately defined with clarity of focus: to lead litigation, enforcement and recoveries with accountability for outcomes, not simply advice. This opportunity arises at a point where the legal function is central to the next phase of growth, with a clear requirement for stronger ownership of litigation outcomes and recoveries performance. The Role This is a role for a lawyer who is comfortable operating where legal judgement and commercial reality intersect. You will take full ownership of insolvency litigation and dispute resolution across the portfolio, shaping and executing enforcement strategies in relation to borrower defaults, distressed exposures and recovery scenarios. External counsel will be engaged where appropriate, however responsibility for direction, pace and outcome will remain with you. This includes direct involvement in formal insolvency situations, working alongside administrators, receivers and insolvency practitioners to protect position and maximise recovery outcomes. Alongside litigation, you will provide leadership and direction to recoveries and enforcement activity, ensuring that performance is actively managed and continuously improved. You will be expected to bring structure, discipline and commercial clarity to the way enforcement is approached, with a focus on achieving the best possible outcomes in the most efficient manner. This will include managing complex cases where matters progress beyond initial recovery actions into formal insolvency, requiring careful legal and commercial judgement to optimise outcomes. The role requires close engagement with internal stakeholders, particularly credit and finance, contributing directly to decision-making in time-sensitive and often complex situations. You will be expected to form clear views, provide decisive input and take responsibility for the consequences of those decisions. This is not a purely advisory position. It is a role defined by ownership, accountability and delivery. The Individual You are likely to be a Partner, Legal Director or senior disputes lawyer within a regional or national law firm, with a strong grounding in insolvency litigation, restructuring or banking disputes. Alternatively, you may already be operating in-house within a lending, credit or recoveries environment as Head of Legal, Legal Director or Senior Legal Counsel and are seeking a broader and more influential role. Experience of handling formal insolvency processes, including working with administrators, receivers or insolvency practitioners, will be a distinct advantage and of particular interest. You will have developed a reputation for sound judgement, the ability to navigate complex situations and a willingness to take responsibility for outcomes. You are commercially aware, pragmatic in your approach and comfortable operating without the safety net of purely advisory work. You are motivated not only by technical excellence, but by the opportunity to apply that expertise in a way that has direct and visible impact. This role will appeal to individuals who want to move closer to the commercial reality of the situations they are advising on, and who are prepared to take ownership of both decisions and results. The Environment The business is entrepreneurial, fast-paced and outcome-focused. Decisions are made quickly and accountability is clear. There is an expectation that senior individuals will engage directly, contribute meaningfully and operate with a high degree of autonomy. For those coming from private practice, the role offers a shift away from billing targets and time recording, without sacrificing complexity or responsibility. For those already in-house, it offers broader scope, greater ownership and closer proximity to strategic decision-making. The Opportunity This is an opportunity to step into a role where legal expertise is not peripheral but central to the success of the business. You will be responsible for shaping litigation strategy, influencing recoveries performance and contributing directly to commercial outcomes. This role is designed for individuals who wish to move beyond advisory work into a position of direct commercial influence and accountability for outcomes. Over time, there is scope for the role to evolve into a broader legal leadership position for an individual who demonstrates both capability and ambition. The remuneration package reflects the seniority and impact of the role, with a base salary in the range of 150,000 to 200,000, together with bonus and long-term incentive arrangements. Applications Applications and enquiries are invited on a strictly confidential basis. Ref: (phone number removed)

Open goal to Partner, in a TRUE partnership, and consistently busy disputes/forensic function Your new company I've helped this client build out their incredibly successful, busy, and consistently growing Forensic team and am delighted they are now ready to bring in a de facto partner designate. More on that below. The firm is full-service accounting/advisory with impressive year-on-year growth (mainly organic with the occasional acquisition) but with very few conflicts and a track record of growing successful Advisory businesses (I can give an example of a JV acquired a few years ago which became the landing point for a key US firm in the UK.) There is a whole-firm culture around career sponsorship, so your mentor/s are not "just" a key Partner in your own team. Nonetheless, the lead Forensic Partner is a great example of someone who deliberately chose to leave a large firm at Director level and has achieved Expert, Partner and now equity Partner all within this firm. They have given evidence many times now, and as a "new gen" Partner will be the ideal role model to guide you through the same path. The Forensic/Valuations team attracts a really broad range of mandates across quantum/damages, valuation (contentious and non-contentious) and investigations. The average size of law firm referring has increased significantly in recent times and in consequence firms "on the other side" are typically larger too. I can speak to the calibre of the delivery team, many of whom have deliberately chosen to join from bigger firms to accelerate their progress. Business development activities for the team lean towards imaginative and creative as opposed to "flashy" and client take-up is high as a result. Your new role The firm are now keen to engage with a Disputes Director who is off the starting blocks on billing in their own name. You're likely to be attracting mandates from your own contacts (even if then conflicted) as well as generating repeat business via high calibre output from others. The threshold here for Partnership is more accessible than in a Top 10 or equivalent independent consulting firm, so if you're already "washing your face" in self-generated billings, it may only take a multiple of 2-3 times that to be in the conversation for 1st-rung partner. I can explain more on enquiry. What you'll need to succeed ACA or equivalent UK-trained and experienced Forensic accountant, with an experience lean towards disputes/damages/valuation A real desire to become a fully-fledged Expert in your own name The confidence to build business and the commerciality to succeed What you'll get in return High calibre delivery team A brand that is not just warmed-up but fully established in the Forensic market, often punching above its (apparent) weight Mentorship through to Expert and Partner, from a "new gen" Partner and others The reward of true Partnership when you get there yourself.
