We are pleased to present an exciting opportunity for a Litigation Solicitor to join a prominent, well-established business based near York, offering on-site parking. This in-house role offers a rare chance for professionals in commercial litigation to transition into an internal legal position, providing a dynamic environment to utilise and expand your litigation expertise within a large, diversified organisation.
The successful candidate will support the General Counsel in delivering a wide range of legal and regulatory services focused mainly on dispute resolution, contract management and compliance. The role will involve exposure to the full range of in-house legal matters, but you will be fully supported by a well-established existing team in broadening your skill set - it's litigation expertise that is the key requirement.
Your responsibilities will include drafting and negotiating commercial agreements, managing disputes, handling debt recovery, and advising on legal risk and regulatory compliance. Working closely with various business units, the role requires a versatile approach, adapting to the evolving needs of the organisation to protect its interests, mitigate risks, and facilitate commercial growth.
The Ideal Candidate
- Qualified solicitor with c. 3 or 4 years+ PQE, although applicants with solid litigation experience and slightly less PQE will be considered.
- Experience in managing and advising on disputes and litigation strategy
- In-house experience and exposure to commercial contracts would be desirable, but is absolutely not a prerequisite
- Excellent drafting skills, with an analytical mindset and the ability to communicate complex legal issues clearly to non-legal colleagues.
- Commercially aware and solutions-oriented, with a proactive approach.
- Adaptable and collaborative team player, capable of prioritising workload and providing swift, pragmatic legal advice.
This is an excellent opportunity for a litigation solicitor seeking to take their career in-house within a major brand, work in a supportive environment, and enjoy a good work-life balance. If you are interested in this role, please contact Sophie Linley at Sacco Mann on View phone number on jobs.thelawyer.com to discuss your suitability and the next steps in confidence.
