Are You a Litigation Leader Ready to Shape Something Big? Here's a rare opportunity: join a growing, nationally respected Legal 500 firm that recently opened its Bristol base and lead its Dispute Resolution practice into the next chapter. If you've ever thought, "I wish I could build my own team, mould my own corner of an office and still have the backing of a powerhouse firm," then read on. What Is on Offer: Title: Partner - Dispute Resolution (focusing on civil or commercial litigation) Location: Bristol (hybrid / flexible working, with strong support for remote days) Compensation: Up to £140,000 per annum, depending on experience + bonus structure & benefits Why This Role Is Different: You won't be slotting into a fully formed machine; you'll be moulding the shape of litigation in a city where there's serious growth momentum. The firm's established in other major UK locations; the Bristol office is young but ambitious. You'll get autonomy: build your own offering- shape strategy, bring in work, hire, develop junior / mid-level litigators, set the tone for "how we do litigation here." You'll have top-tier support: the resources, reputation, systems of a Legal 500-ranked national practice. You'll benefit from strong leadership, established client channels and cross-office collaboration. Who You Are: An experienced litigation partner or senior counsel, with strong experience in civil and/or commercial litigation. Entrepreneurial: you see opportunities where others see obstacles.

What You'll Get (Beyond the Salary): Hybrid & Flexible Working: Balance your time between Bristol, home and wherever else you need to be. Generous Benefits Package: (Pension, health/insurance perks, CPD, etc.) that reflect the seniority of the role. Leadership Opportunities: team building, mentoring, influencing strategy - not "just another hire." Exposure & Growth: you'll play a core role in shaping the firm's litigation presence in a region with huge potential. Autonomy + Support: make decisions, lead deals, build ways of working; but you'll have the infrastructure, experienced colleagues and firm-resources behind you. What Makes This Firm Stand Out Though we're keeping the name under wraps for now, this is not a boutique. The firm is: Consistently ranked as one of the top Legal 500 practices nationally; Known for demanding high standards, having a strong culture of integrity and delivering excellent client service; An organisation that invests in people, leads in quality but hopes you'll bring your own style, drive and vision. If you're intrigued, inspired, maybe a little bit fired up by this possibility of building your vision of litigation in Bristol, let's talk or apply directly now!

Think Big. Build Better. A Property Development Role Where You'll Actually Be Heard. Opportunity: Senior Associate Property Development Solicitor Location: Reading (Hybrid Working - 2 days a week in the office) Salary: Starts from £60,000 and above (DOE) About the Opportunity: Ever felt stuck doing transactional work that lacks ambition? Here's a change-of-scene: Join a top-tier Development & House Building team in Reading. You'll be the kind of senior solicitor who gets both challenging deals and real autonomy. Hybrid style, just two days in the office, so you stay grounded with the team without losing flexibility and benefits that don't feel like afterthoughts! What You Will Be Doing: Running your own caseload in development land: acquisitions, disposals, plot sales, plot option agreements, deeds, contracts, etc. Due diligence and reporting - spot the risks early, steer things cleanly. Getting stuck into secured acquisition & development finance work. Working with partners, but you won't be micromanaged, you'll have space to think, suggest, innovate. Helping with business development: making, maintaining, growing relationships in the house-building / development world. What Makes This Firm Different: People first: the environment is supportive, friendly, down-to-earth but very sharp when it comes to legal work. You won't be just a cog. Real flexibility: Hybrid working model with 2 office days per week. Enough face-time for teamwork; enough remote to recharge. Perks that matter: 28 days holiday, enhanced pension, life assurance (5× salary), private medical cover. But also, things you really notice: your birthday off, weekly wellbeing hour, 8 charity hours per year, cycle-to-work scheme, season-ticket loan, even bring-your-dog-to-work options.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You: Have 5+ years PQE in property development law, especially development land, plot sales, plot option agreements, etc. Can handle complex transactions with minimal oversight but also know when to draw in the right people. Think commercially: spotting risks, balancing legal with practical, spotting opportunity. Are someone who builds connections - clients, agents, developers - and is comfortable (or wants to get more comfortable) with business-development. Communicate well. Write well. Deal with detail, but don't lose the big picture. Why You Might Love It Here: Because this isn't just another "lots of paperwork + long hours" gig. It's a chance to stretch, to build something with meaning: portfolios, sites, relationships. To keep the legal side rigorous and bring your personality & ideas. To enjoy benefits that treat you like a whole person, not just a billable hour. Ready to see if this could be your next move?
