Join a down-to-earth team where people matter as much as the work

This is an exciting opportunity for a Civil & Employment Litigation Solicitor to join a highly regarded regional firm with deep roots in the local community, a genuinely supportive team culture, and a strong pipeline of complex and interesting work.

Forget aggressive targets and rigid corporate structures – here, relationships, quality, and mutual support come first.

About the role

You’ll step into a busy caseload, working closely with a Chartered Legal Executive, a trainee solicitor, and two dedicated secretaries. The firm is urgently seeking someone to support the growing workload and provide cover for a senior litigator currently on medical leave.

Workload includes:

• Boundary disputes
• Probate disputes
• Contract disputes
• Building disputes
• A high volume of complex motorhome litigation cases
• Occasional employment law work (approx. 10%)

You’ll be encouraged to develop expertise, contribute to the team’s development, and grow your caseload with a forensic, client-focused approach.

What we’re looking for

• Ideally 3–4 years PQE (flexible on experience for the right candidate)
• Strong civil litigation grounding; employment law experience a bonus
• A forensic mindset and curiosity that goes beyond surface-level law
• Clear, empathetic communicator who simplifies complex matters
• A team player who contributes positively to a close-knit culture
• Reliable, self-motivated and open to learning from others

Why you’ll love working here

• Truly collaborative and non-hierarchical environment
• No billing pressure or department rivalry
• Flexible hours (work between 7am–5pm)
• Hybrid working available
• Private car park
• Supportive admin team and your own secretary

Benefits

• 25 days’ holiday + bank holidays
• Firm closes over Christmas (additional 4.5 days off)
• Bonus scheme potential
• Income protection after 13 weeks
• Potential future private health cover
• Partnership prospects for the right individual

The culture

The firm proudly describes itself as a “dysfunctional family” – meaning everyone looks out for each other, has a laugh, and calls it how it is. It’s a first-name basis, open-door kind of place where ego is left at the door and client care is king.

They don’t tolerate arrogance or siloed working – and they don’t expect anyone to pretend they have all the answers. Asking for help is encouraged.

Unique selling points

• Long-standing local reputation driven by word-of-mouth
• Very low staff turnover
• Family-friendly policies
• Rural lifestyle with strong local schools
• Easy access to Peterborough, King’s Lynn, and Boston
