Job description

Commercial Litigation Solicitor (6–10 PQE)
Birmingham | Hybrid Working

 

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Commercial Litigation Solicitor (6–10 years’ PQE) to join a dynamic and ambitious Birmingham city centre law firm.

 

Recently recognised in The Legal 500 UK 2026 as a “Firm to Watch” for Commercial Litigation, this growing practice has built an excellent reputation for delivering high-quality, strategic advice to a diverse national client base.

 

The Role

 

This is a hands-on role within a growing disputes team, offering exposure to high-quality work and genuine progression opportunities. The successful candidate will be a confident, commercially astute litigator who can act as a safe pair of hands while supporting the continued growth of the department.

 

The caseload is broad and varied, covering all aspects of commercial litigation, including:

  • Contractual disputes (including breach of contract and enforcement matters)

  • Shareholder and partnership disputes

  • Director and boardroom disputes

  • Debt recovery and enforcement action

  • Bankruptcy and corporate insolvency matters

  • Professional negligence claims

  • Misrepresentation and fraud-related disputes

  • Injunctive relief applications

  • Contentious matters arising from supply chain, logistics and distribution arrangements

  • Disputes within regulated sectors

 

Clients operate across a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, retail, hospitality, care homes, logistics, warehousing and distribution. Many relationships are longstanding and advisory-focused, offering the opportunity to work closely with business owners, directors and senior stakeholders.

 

The Firm

 

This is a modern, forward-thinking firm with beautiful offices in the heart of Birmingham city centre and a strong hybrid working culture.

 

As an ambitious and growing practice, there are clear and realistic progression opportunities for the right individual. In addition to a competitive salary, the firm offers the opportunity to participate in growth shares, providing a genuine stake in the future success of the business.

 

The Candidate

 

You will:

  • Have 6–10 years’ PQE in commercial litigation

  • Be technically strong with sound procedural knowledge

  • Be confident managing matters independently

  • Demonstrate strong client care and commercial awareness

  • Be motivated by growth and the opportunity to play a key role in a scaling practice

This role would suit a solicitor looking to step into a more influential position within a growing firm where their contribution will have real impact.
