The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity exists for a versatile dispute resolution lawyer to join LegalVision’s Legal team in our Manchester office. We’re looking for a capable and enthusiastic lawyer with experience in a broad range of commercial disputes (specifically (breach of contract, shareholder/director disputes, IP infringement, breach of confidentiality, enforcement of restrictive covenants and, debt recovery matters). The role is perfect for a generalist commercial litigator who has had autonomy over dispute matters, requiring little supervision. The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to gain supervision/management experience, supervising the work of our trainee solicitors here at LegalVision.

This is an opportunity to practice law differently - without the inflexibility, micromanagement and facetime of traditional law firms - whilst continuing to work on challenging matters with interesting clients. You’ll enjoy the benefits of autonomy and flexibility, whilst working alongside legal experts who genuinely care about and are invested in your professional growth.

• Collaborative: Gets a kick out of working with smart people and learning from them.
• Adaptable: Grasps new concepts quickly; goes with the flow; improves everyday.
• Autonomous: Likes help, but doesn’t always need it; owns their work; loves responsibility.
