Commercial Litigation Partner

Commercial Litigation Partner | City of London | Legal 500 Firm

Are you looking for a platform where you can take control of your career, work with exceptional clients, and be part of a forward-thinking and agile boutique?

This firm offers senior litigators the freedom to build and thrive, without the bureaucracy of traditional partnerships.

The Firm

This modern City boutique has carved out a strong reputation for delivering sharp, commercial legal advice to clients ranging from global brands to innovative startups and private capital. With particular strengths in litigation, commercial, IP, tech, and media, the firm continues to attract complex, high-value work typically associated with much larger firms.

Founded by senior lawyers from top international practices, the firm was built on the idea that high performance and flexibility should go hand in hand.
Today, that ethos remains central to their culture. They offer a grown-up environment, free from red tape and politics, where lawyers are trusted to get on and deliver.

The firm is collaborative, well-managed, and highly profitable. There is a strong sense of shared ambition across the partnership. As the litigation team continues to grow, they are now seeking to hire an additional Commercial Litigation Partner to help drive the department forward.

The Role

This is a key strategic hire within a thriving litigation team. You will work alongside experienced disputes partners and be actively involved in the continued growth and development of the department.

The work is varied and high quality, covering complex commercial disputes including shareholder and partnership issues, professional negligence, civil fraud, contractual claims, and contentious insolvency. Many matters have a cross-border dimension, and the client base comprises private capital, high-growth companies, funds, and entrepreneurs across various sectors, including technology, media, financial services, and retail.

There is a strong pipeline of work and excellent internal referrals from the corporate, commercial, and IP teams. You will also be encouraged to further develop your own client base over time.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out

• Join a high-performing team without bureaucracy or politics
• Collaborate with other entrepreneurial and commercially minded partners
• Top quality clients and cross-border work across a range of industries
• Hybrid working and genuine flexibility are the norm
• Strong internal referrals from complementary departments
• A clear and achievable route to equity that is substantial and genuinely rewarding
• Be part of a modern, well-managed firm with a truly collegiate culture

Requirements

• You will be an experienced commercial litigator, with at least 10 years of PQE
• Broad commercial disputes experience
• You will be client-facing, commercially sharp, and solutions-focused
• A following is welcome but not essential. More important is drive, quality, and alignment with the firm's values
• A team player who wants to contribute to a progressive and ambitious practice

This is an excellent opportunity for a Commercial Litigation Partner to join a modern, growing firm that offers autonomy, progression, and high-quality work in a genuinely collaborative setting.
