Description

Partner - Commercial Litigation (Shareholder & Partnership Disputes)
Leading Boutique Employment Practice | Outstanding Remuneration
London

A highly regarded boutique employment practice is seeking an experienced Commercial Litigation Partner to join its leadership team and develop a specialist disputes offering.
This is a rare opportunity to build and grow a commercial litigation practice within an established and respected firm, with a particular focus on shareholder and partnership disputes.

The firm already advises a strong and loyal client base - including founders, boards, partnerships and senior executives - which is largely untapped from a commercial litigation perspective, creating immediate and organic growth potential.

The Opportunity

Lead and develop a shareholder and partnership disputes practice within a well-established employment platform
Access a warm, high-quality client base with significant crossover potential
Work collaboratively with senior employment partners on complex, high-value matters

Enjoy autonomy, strategic input and long-term support for practice growth

Join a lockstep partnership model with the opportunity to secure a meaningful equity stake and strong share of the business over time

Be part of a firm known for strong internal support, sensible resourcing and a genuinely healthy, collaborative working environment

The Ideal Candidate

Established Commercial Litigation Partner (or Senior Legal Director / SC with partnership ambitions)
Demonstrable expertise in shareholder disputes, partnership disputes and related commercial litigation
Portable practice welcomed but not essential, given the strength of the existing client base
Commercial, collaborative and collegiate mindset

What's on Offer

Highly competitive salary and bonus package
Attractive lockstep remuneration structure aligned with long-term value creation
A supportive partnership with strong operational, marketing and junior lawyer support
High-quality work, consistent internal referrals and a positive firm culture

This role will suit a partner looking to build real equity in a business, develop a disputes practice with proper backing, and work within a firm that prioritises both excellence and sustainability.
If of interest please apply as directed or contact Catherine Knowles on 07580 429 321.
