Senior Associate – Commercial Litigation & Insolvency

PQE Partners are exclusively representing a growing boutique law firm who are building strong momentum in the market and seeking to add a high-calibre litigator to their team. This is not just another Senior Associate role – it is a smart next step for someone ambitious who wants to be part of a firm on an upward trajectory.

Key Responsibilities

As Senior Associate, you will work closely with the firm's founders and play a key role in advising clients across a broad range of disputes, including but not limited to:

  • Complex commercial litigation matters, including debt recovery disputes
  • Insolvency and restructuring litigation, acting for a range of stakeholders
  • High-stakes disputes for corporate clients, SMEs, and individuals
  • Supervising and mentoring junior lawyers, helping to shape the next generation of the firm's talent
  • Developing client relationships and originating new matters, with support from the partners

About You

The ideal candidate will be a Senior Associate or a strong Associate ready to step up, with:

  • 5+ years' post-admission experience in commercial litigation, debt recovery, and/or insolvency
  • A commercial mindset with the confidence to manage matters independently
  • An entrepreneurial outlook and interest in contributing to the growth of a boutique practice
  • Strong written and verbal advocacy skills, with the ability to run matters from start to finish
  • A collaborative approach, with the ability to mentor juniors and work directly with partners

What's on Offer

This is a unique career opportunity with benefits beyond the standard Associate track, including:

  • Clear pathway to future equity opportunities as the firm continues to grow
  • Commission incentives on matters you originate
  • Direct access to the firm's founders and clients
  • A culture that values independence, hustle, and commercial outcomes
  • The chance to be part of a firm where your impact is immediate and your contribution is recognised

If you are a litigator with insolvency or commercial litigation experience and are looking to take the next step in your career with a growing, ambitious firm, please contact Katie Mitchell at PQE Partners for a confidential discussion or apply directly.
