I am working with a highly regarded regional law firm that is looking to recruit a Litigation / Commercial Disputes Solicitor to join its experienced and well-established disputes team based in Stockton-on-Tees.

This is a strong, specialist team with extensive expertise across a broad range of commercial and civil litigation matters, including contractual disputes, property litigation, commercial and residential tenancy disputes, consumer protection and product liability, tortious claims, volume litigation and debt recovery. The team is well respected for its professionalism, technical ability and consistent results.

The Role The successful candidate will handle a varied and stimulating caseload, acting for both claimants and defendants. The role will include:

• Managing a range of commercial and civil disputes
• Handling volume claims for key institutional and commercial clients
• Advising clients clearly on costs, risks and strategy
• Taking an active role in business development and promoting the firm’s services

The firm is open to full-time, part-time or flexible working arrangements, making this a particularly attractive opportunity for those seeking improved work/life balance.

The Candidate The firm is keen to speak with:

• Qualified Solicitors or FCILEx lawyers
• With up to 5 years’ post-qualification experience in litigation (claimant and/or defendant)
• Strong team players who can also work confidently and independently
• Lawyers with excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple matters simultaneously
• Individuals who enjoy responsibility, challenge and contributing to team growth

Occasional travel to the firm’s Newcastle office will be required in line with business needs.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a respected disputes team within a supportive firm that values flexibility, collaboration and long-term career development.
