Vacancy - Commercial Dispute Resolution Solicitor x 2 Full time, Permanent, based in our Plymouth office, with opportunities for remote work Following significant growth over the last few years, and with a desire to grow significantly bigger across the firm in the future, we are recruiting for 2 Commercial Dispute Resolution Solicitors to join our specialist team. The Commercial Dispute Resolution team Our Commercial Dispute Resolution team works with a wide range of clients in both the private sector and both locally and regionally. The team provides a comprehensive range of services, encompassing: Asset & Debt Recovery Property Disputes Main responsibilities and duties of the job We're looking for two confident and capable Commercial Dispute Resolution Solicitors to join our growing team. The successful candidates will have solid experience in commercial litigation and be comfortable managing a varied caseload with minimal supervision. Typical matters will include commercial property disputes, breach of contract claims, shareholder and director disputes, and contentious probate matters. You'll work closely with a wide range of clients - from individuals and SMEs to larger businesses - helping them navigate complex and often sensitive disputes. You'll be confident advising on risk and strategy, drafting clear and persuasive correspondence and pleadings, and representing clients through all stages of the dispute resolution process, including negotiations, mediations, and court proceedings where necessary. While you'll be trusted to handle your own caseload, you'll also be a valued member of a supportive and collaborative team, contributing to shared knowledge and offering assistance on larger or more complex matters. There will also be opportunities to get involved in business development, networking, and the future growth of the team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving, is commercially aware, and thrives on delivering clear, practical advice to clients when it matters most. The team and the work Jamie Carr, Head of the Commercial Dispute Resolution team had this to say about the team and the work that they do: The Commercial Dispute Resolution team acts for in-house legal departments, corporate clients, private individuals, and insurers across a broad range of sectors. It would not be unusual, on any given day, to be asked to advise on a disputed will or trust, consider the restrictive covenants within an employment contract, or take instructions on a commercial lease renewal whilst issuing proceedings on a shareholder or partnership dispute. Whilst variety can be challenging, it is also rewarding and has assisted greatly in my own personal development and that of my team. As a team, we recognise that Dispute Resolution is a dynamic area of practice. We must continue to match this dynamism in how we respond to changes in the legal landscape and, perhaps more importantly, our clients' ever-changing circumstances. This has been keenly felt over the last 12 months; when clients have experienced new and unprecedented challenges, we have responded. Changing how the team works together, ensuring effective supervision, utilising new resources (including training resources), and being flexible in how we advise clients have all led to a successful last 12 months, despite wider economic and social situations. The work is often high-value, and our focus is always on achieving the best outcome possible for the client. The team's revenue has increased substantially in recent years and continues to expand, hence the need for this additional recruitment. About you We do not set upper or lower limits of PQE for any of our vacancies. We have however given an indicative PQE as an approximate guide for applicants. Candidates who have at least 2 - 5 years PQE are likely to have the right level of enthusiasm and knowledge, with the right level of experience needed to be able to undertake and develop within this role.

Vacancy - Commercial Dispute Resolution Solicitor x 2 Full time, Permanent, based in our Plymouth office, with opportunities for remote work Following significant growth over the last few years, and with a desire to grow significantly bigger across the firm in the future, we are recruiting for 2 Commercial Dispute Resolution Solicitors to join our specialist team. The Commercial Dispute Resolution team Our Commercial Dispute Resolution team works with a wide range of clients in both the private sector and both locally and regionally. The team provides a comprehensive range of services, encompassing: Asset & Debt Recovery Property Disputes Main responsibilities and duties of the job We're looking for two confident and capable Commercial Dispute Resolution Solicitors to join our growing team. The successful candidates will have solid experience in commercial litigation and be comfortable managing a varied caseload with minimal supervision. Typical matters will include commercial property disputes, breach of contract claims, shareholder and director disputes, and contentious probate matters. You'll work closely with a wide range of clients - from individuals and SMEs to larger businesses - helping them navigate complex and often sensitive disputes. You'll be confident advising on risk and strategy, drafting clear and persuasive correspondence and pleadings, and representing clients through all stages of the dispute resolution process, including negotiations, mediations, and court proceedings where necessary. While you'll be trusted to handle your own caseload, you'll also be a valued member of a supportive and collaborative team, contributing to shared knowledge and offering assistance on larger or more complex matters. There will also be opportunities to get involved in business development, networking, and the future growth of the team. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys problem-solving, is commercially aware, and thrives on delivering clear, practical advice to clients when it matters most. The team and the work Jamie Carr, Head of the Commercial Dispute Resolution team had this to say about the team and the work that they do: The Commercial Dispute Resolution team acts for in-house legal departments, corporate clients, private individuals, and insurers across a broad range of sectors. It would not be unusual, on any given day, to be asked to advise on a disputed will or trust, consider the restrictive covenants within an employment contract, or take instructions on a commercial lease renewal whilst issuing proceedings on a shareholder or partnership dispute. Whilst variety can be challenging, it is also rewarding and has assisted greatly in my own personal development and that of my team. As a team, we recognise that Dispute Resolution is a dynamic area of practice. We must continue to match this dynamism in how we respond to changes in the legal landscape and, perhaps more importantly, our clients' ever-changing circumstances. This has been keenly felt over the last 12 months; when clients have experienced new and unprecedented challenges, we have responded. Changing how the team works together, ensuring effective supervision, utilising new resources (including training resources), and being flexible in how we advise clients have all led to a successful last 12 months, despite wider economic and social situations. The work is often high-value, and our focus is always on achieving the best outcome possible for the client. The team's revenue has increased substantially in recent years and continues to expand, hence the need for this additional recruitment.
