Litigation Solicitor

Bournemouth – £45,000 - £60,000

Litigation Solicitor , Bournemouth
 
A role at a boutique Dorset firm where you can truly stand out.
 
The role is a unique opportunity for an experienced 5+ PQE Litigation Solicitor or CILEx to join a specialist team.
 
You'll be joining a smaller, well-established firm, who pride themselves on providing a close-knit, supportive environment where ambitious people can shine, take ownership of their work, and build strong client relationships from day one. Your expertise will be noticed, valued, and rewarded.
 
Why This Role Stands Out
  • Greater visibility and recognition for your work—no getting lost in a large firm
  • Faster progression opportunities, including a clear pathway toward partnership
  • A collaborative, friendly environment where your ideas matter
  • The chance to develop a broad and interesting litigation caseload  
The Package
  • Permanent, full-time role
  • Monday-Friday, 9:00am-5:00pm (35-hour week including a 1-hour lunch break)
  • Salary £45,000-£60,000, depending on experience
  • Opportunities to grow your own profile and build your own client following
Who They Are Looking For
 
  • Talented and driven Solicitor or Legal Executive with 5+ years' PQE
  • Experience across a broad range of dispute resolution matters
  • Higher Rights of Audience is advantageous but not essential
  • Friendly, approachable, and confident when dealing with clients
  • Self-motivated, proactive, and able to work independently when needed
  • Strong organisational skills with an ability to prioritise a busy caseload
  • IT literate and comfortable adopting modern working practices
  • Committed to the highest standards of client care and legal expertise
If you're looking for a role where you can make a real impact, develop quickly, and build a future we'd love to hear from you.
