Associate / Senior Associate - Dispute Resolution

Ashton Full Time / Part Time Considered

Salary up to £65,000+ DOE

I am working with a well-established regional law firm looking to appoint an Associate / Senior Associate to join its Dispute Resolution team.

The team acts for a strong and loyal client base, including both corporate and individual clients, and is recognised for delivering practical, commercially focused advice across a broad range of contentious matters. You will be joining a collaborative and supportive team with a solid reputation in the local market.

The Opportunity

This is a varied and engaging Dispute Resolution role, offering exposure to a broad range of high-quality work, including:

• Contractual disputes
• Professional negligence matters
• Neighbour and boundary disputes
• Debt recovery and insolvency matters

Contentious probate, including:

Property litigation, including possession and dilapidation claims (residential and commercial).

Employment matters, including:

• Employment Tribunal claims
• Settlement agreements
• Non-contentious advisory work

You will manage your own caseload while working closely with colleagues and supporting the wider team on more complex matters. The role offers excellent scope to further develop your technical expertise, client relationships, and long-term career progression.

You will also contribute to the continued growth of the firm's dispute resolution offering, including supporting colleagues on litigation matters and participating in client-facing advisory sessions.

About You

There are strong prospects for progression for the right candidate.
