Litigation Solicitor
Job Posted: 14 days ago
Salary: £ 38,000 - 40,000 / Annum
Job Type: Permanent
Location: Bury, Greater Manchester
Expire in: 14 days
Job Description
Coppersmith Recruitment is representing a dynamic, forward-thinking law firm seeking a highly capable Litigation Solicitor to join their established team in Bury. This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated solicitor to handle complex, high-value litigation work with the support of a strong team culture and excellent administrative backing.
The Opportunity
This role has been created following a departure, meaning the successful candidate will inherit a full, active caseload rather than starting from scratch. With around 70–80 files under management at any given time, this is a role for a solicitor who thrives on responsibility and autonomy.
The firm’s litigation practice is known for its city-level work—with some cases valued at £500m+—while maintaining a close-knit, collaborative environment. The successful candidate will enjoy meaningful exposure to high-profile disputes, with an emphasis on commercial and civil litigation.
Key Responsibilities
* Independently manage a busy caseload of 70–80 litigation matters, supported by a dedicated paraplanner/PA.
* Handle a mix of commercial and civil litigation, including high-value disputes.
* Represent clients in County Court and High Court hearings.
* Draft pleadings, statements of case, defences, witness statements, and disclosure bundles.
* Conduct thorough legal research and provide clear, commercially focused legal advice.
* Collaborate closely with colleagues to deliver exceptional client service and drive case strategy.
* Contribute to business development and client relationship management.
What We’re Looking For
* Qualified Solicitor with 3+ years PQE (open to more experienced candidates).
* Strong background in commercial and civil litigation.
* Confident managing a high-volume caseload and achieving strong outcomes.
* Experience with High Court litigation and complex matters is a strong advantage.
* Excellent drafting, communication, and client-facing skills.
* A commercially aware, proactive solicitor with a passion for delivering quality work.
* Not suitable for those seeking an exclusively employment law role.
Why Work With Our Client
* Competitive salary around £40,000+, dependent on experience.
* Clear career progression opportunities in a growing, ambitious firm.
* Full caseload from day one—hit the ground running with high-quality files.
* Flexibility: Start with 4 days in the office, moving to 2–3 days remote as trust and experience build.
* A supportive, collaborative environment where billable hours are measured sensibly rather than rigidly.
* Exposure to City-quality work without the red tape or culture of larger firms.
* Fast, efficient interview process with a Managing Director committed to building a strong, like-minded team.
