Jobs in Artington

Your new firm

Our client is a highly regarded regional law firm with offices across the South East and London. Recognised in the leading legal directories, the firm is known for its strong disputes practice, high-quality work and commitment to providing genuine long-term career progression opportunities.

Your new role

An excellent opportunity has arisen for an experienced Dispute Resolution Solicitor to join a well-established team based in Guildford. The department is recognised for advising on a broad range of commercial and civil disputes, including contractual disputes, shareholder disputes, professional negligence claims, financial services litigation and debt recovery matters. Working as part of a collaborative team, you will manage your own caseload of complex and high-value disputes while also supporting senior colleagues on larger matters. The Guildford team consists of experienced lawyers and legal support professionals and works closely with colleagues across the firm's wider office network. In addition to fee-earning responsibilities, you will play a key role in supervising and mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to the continued growth of the team.

What you'll need to succeed

You will be a qualified Solicitor with strong experience handling a wide range of commercial litigation and dispute resolution matters, particularly contractual and shareholder disputes. Whilst the role is suited to an experienced Senior Associate-level lawyer, ambitious Associates seeking the next step in their career will also be considered. Experience dealing with construction disputes would be advantageous but is not essential. You will have strong technical ability, excellent client management skills and an interest in supporting the development of more junior colleagues. A collaborative, commercially minded and proactive approach is essential.

What you'll get in return

You will join a recognised disputes practice offering high-quality work, genuine career progression opportunities and a flexible hybrid working environment. The role provides exposure to complex and high-value matters, the opportunity to develop leadership responsibilities and a clear pathway for further advancement within the team. A competitive salary and benefits package is also on offer.

What you need to do now

If you are interested in this opportunity or would like to discuss it further, please get in touch for a confidential conversation. If this role is not quite right, but you are considering a move into commercial litigation or dispute resolution, we would still be happy to hear from you. Applications are welcomed from candidates outside the suggested PQE range who can demonstrate the relevant skills, experience and potential.
