Litigation Solicitor (2-5 years PQE)
Law Firms don’t solve problems, people do. We are looking for exceptional people to join us.
At TW we believe there’s more to the law than technical excellence. TW is growing in size and reputation and we are keen to onboard enthusiastic and exceptional people who are thoughtful, determined and intuitive and who bring individual personality and a positive outlook. Our growing reputation means that people are seeking us out, knocking on the door because they want to move from other Law Firms to join us or coming back to us after they have left because they love working with us. That says a lot!
Individual players, one team.
We are brave and ambitious, vibrant and diverse. Our culture is supportive, with a sense of togetherness at all levels, working hard but always finding time to have fun. We constantly strive to do better and actively consult people for their ideas and give people the opportunity to grow. We have committed to hybrid working for all roles that can be done remotely and are open to flexible hours and office base. In addition, we have a “You Day” initiative in place that means that people can compress their contractual hours into 9 days and take the 10th day for themselves. Other benefits include bonuses, generous annual leave, Private Medical Insurance with Bupa, life assurance and a health cash plan which includes an Employee Assistance programme and perks and discounts from major retailers.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking to recruit a commercially astute Litigation Solicitor with a proven track record in providing quality legal advice and assistance to clients. The successful applicant will have the ability to deal proactively with a busy caseload which will include contractual disputes, building disputes, property disputes including those relating to boundaries, claims and related issues with commercial and residential rented and leased properties. Working knowledge of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 and the Housing Acts is useful. In depth knowledge of the CPR is essential.
The department is growing and is an integral part of the future plans for Thackray Williams. As such enthusiasm for business development and marketing is a must, in line with the strategic business plans of the department and the wider firm.
