Litigation Solicitor | 3PQE+ | Bournemouth | Finance-Led Caseload | Top 200 Firm 

I’m working with a Top 200 law firm known for doing things differently. Their Litigation team sits at the heart of a commercial firm with over £35 million in annual revenue, and this department alone brings in more than £5 million per year. This isn’t your average high-volume debt recovery work, it’s a creditor-focused team that handles complex disputes and portfolio recoveries for major banks, finance houses, and commercial lenders.

You’ll be joining a busy team based in Bournemouth, made up of experienced litigators, junior solicitors, and paralegals who work closely with the firm’s finance and commercial groups. The structure is collaborative but also gives you room to run with your own caseload, and there’s genuine investment in tech and automation, meaning you’ll spend more time doing the complex work that makes the most of your expertise. There’s also full support from dedicated client relationship teams who ensure the department’s offering is not just legal but operationally smart.

The role involves running defended litigation matters across small, fast and multi-track claims, with files ranging from pre-issue right through to enforcement. You’ll be advising clients directly (often the in-house legal and risk teams at major financial institutions) and will also play a role in mentoring junior lawyers and contributing to wider team development. A background in Consumer Credit or Asset Finance will be key.

The firm is big on autonomy and progression, so if you're looking to take on more responsibility, there's space here to build your profile internally and externally. They're also big on training and development, both for clients and for staff. You'll have access to a full programme of CPD, legal updates, and business development support.

You’ll receive a competitive package, private medical insurance, 33 days' holiday (plus your birthday off), access to a benefits platform, and ongoing professional development.
