With a new Liverpool city centre office recently opened and an established Wigan base, this is an excellent time to join a business in genuine growth mode.

- Handling matters for key clients across finance, local authority, or housing sectors
- Progressing claims efficiently within a high-volume but structured environment
- Liaising with clients and internal teams to ensure smooth case progression
Candidate Requirements
The firm is seeking:
- Qualified Solicitors or CILEX / Chartered Legal Executives
- Experience in debt recovery or civil litigation (NQ+)
- Ability to manage a caseload independently with good organisation and time management
- A proactive and commercially minded approach
Team & Culture
You will join a modern, commercially driven law firm with a strong reputation in debt recovery litigation and long-standing national client relationships.
- Collaborative and supportive team structure
- Strong leadership and training framework
- Clear career progression pathways
- Hybrid working model following probation (typically 1–2 days WFH)
- Flexible approach depending on candidate experience and autonomy
Benefits & Package
- Hybrid working (post-probation)
- Brand new training academy
- Workplace wellbeing programme
- Strong training and development support
- Clear progression opportunities within a growing team
- Established client base and consistent workflow
Why This Role?
This is a strong opportunity to join a growing national litigation business at a time of expansion, with a consistent caseload, structured support, and genuine scope to develop within a specialist debt recovery environment.
