Nelson Chambers are currently working with a regional legal 500 firm to recruit a litigation lawyer to head up the dispute resolution offering in their Lowestoft office. Drive and ambition are more important than PQE in this instance but you must be a qualified solicitor or legal executive and able to manage your own caseload from start to finish.

This is a unique opportunity for a qualified lawyer with high ambitions to come in and build a team around them. The work is already there so this role will not require someone to bring in their own business or client following initially.

There will be opportunities to work from the firm’s central Norwich office if this is more convenient for the successful candidate.

You will work on a broad caseload of general litigation matters, including property and agricultural disputes. There is also room to be involved in the recruitment process of junior members of staff at a later date.

This role is perfect for an individuals at either junior or more senior stages in their career to accelerate their career progression and take on a really unique role.
