Litigation Solicitor - varied caseload - career progression
QED Legal · Friston, England ·
I’m working with a well-established law firm in Eastbourne that’s looking to bring in a Civil Litigation Lawyer to join their busy and growing team. This is a rare opportunity, created due to continued demand rather than turnover.
What’s particularly appealing about this role is the breadth of work on offer. You’ll get exposure to a genuinely varied caseload, making it a great fit for someone who enjoys a mix of litigation matters rather than being siloed into one niche area.
The role itself You’ll be joining a thriving litigation team, handling your own caseload across a broad range of civil disputes, including: Property disputes Landlord and tenant matters Commercial disputes Employment-related issues There’s a strong emphasis on client contact, so you’ll be dealing directly with clients both over the phone and face-to-face, building relationships and providing a high level of service throughout.
Who this would suit A qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with 2 years’ PQE Someone with solid experience across civil litigation matters Confident communicator with strong client care skills Organised, proactive, and detail-oriented Comfortable managing their own caseload independently Someone with an interest in networking and business development What you’ll get in return The chance to handle a genuinely varied and interesting caseload A role with real responsibility and client exposure from day one Support to develop both technically and commercially A collaborative team where people pull together rather than compete Opportunities to get involved in business development and networking A competitive salary, bonus structure, and benefits package This is a great option for a Civil Litigation Lawyer who wants to broaden their experience, work closely with clients, and be part of a firm that values both professional development and long-term progression.
