Partner - Commercial Litigation (Shareholder & Partnership Disputes)
Leading Boutique Employment Practice | Outstanding Remuneration
London
A highly regarded boutique employment practice is seeking an experienced Commercial Litigation Partner to join its leadership team and develop a specialist disputes offering.
This is a rare opportunity to build and grow a commercial litigation practice within an established and respected firm, with a particular focus on shareholder and partnership disputes.
The firm already advises a strong and loyal client base - including founders, boards, partnerships and senior executives - which is largely untapped from a commercial litigation perspective, creating immediate and organic growth potential.
The Opportunity
- Lead and develop a shareholder and partnership disputes practice within a well-established employment platform
- Access a warm, high-quality client base with significant crossover potential
- Work collaboratively with senior employment partners on complex, high-value matters
- Enjoy autonomy, strategic input and long-term support for practice growth
- Join a lockstep partnership model with the opportunity to secure a meaningful equity stake and strong share of the business over time
- Be part of a firm known for strong internal support, sensible resourcing and a genuinely healthy, collaborative working environment
The Ideal Candidate
- Established Commercial Litigation Partner (or Senior Legal Director / SC with partnership ambitions)
- Demonstrable expertise in shareholder disputes, partnership disputes and related commercial litigation
- Portable practice welcomed but not essential, given the strength of the existing client base
- Commercial, collaborative and collegiate mindset
What's on Offer
- Highly competitive salary and bonus package
- Attractive lockstep remuneration structure aligned with long-term value creation
- A supportive partnership with strong operational, marketing and junior lawyer support
- High-quality work, consistent internal referrals and a positive firm culture
This role will suit a partner looking to build real equity in a business, develop a disputes practice with proper backing, and work within a firm that prioritises both excellence and sustainability.
