Litigation Solicitor – varied caseload – career progression

I’m working with a well-established law firm in Eastbourne that’s looking to bring in a Civil Litigation Lawyer to join their busy and growing team. This is a rare opportunity, created due to continued demand rather than turnover.

What’s particularly appealing about this role is the breadth of work on offer. You’ll get exposure to a genuinely varied caseload, making it a great fit for someone who enjoys a mix of litigation matters rather than being siloed into one niche area.

The role itself
You’ll be joining a thriving litigation team, handling your own caseload across a broad range of civil disputes, including:
 

• Property disputes
• Landlord and tenant matters
• Commercial disputes
• Employment-related issues

There’s a strong emphasis on client contact, so you’ll be dealing directly with clients both over the phone and face-to-face, building relationships and providing a high level of service throughout.

Who this would suit
 

• A qualified Solicitor or Chartered Legal Executive with 2+ years’ PQE
• Someone with solid experience across civil litigation matters
• Confident communicator with strong client care skills
• Organised, proactive, and detail-oriented
• Comfortable managing their own caseload independently
• Someone with an interest in networking and business development

What you’ll get in return

• The chance to handle a genuinely varied and interesting caseload
• A role with real responsibility and client exposure from day one
• Support to develop both technically and commercially
• A collaborative team where people pull together rather than compete
• Opportunities to get involved in business development and networking
• A competitive salary, bonus structure, and benefits package

This is a great option for a Civil Litigation Lawyer who wants to broaden their experience, work closely with clients, and be part of a firm that values both professional development and long-term progression.
