Solicitor/Associate – Public Law Litigation

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious junior lawyer who enjoys litigation and has an interest in public sector work. Join a market-leading public law litigation practice and play a meaningful role in its continued growth.

Working closely with partners and senior lawyers, you will support clients across a varied caseload involving public sector and health organisations. Responsibilities include assisting on judicial review proceedings, procurement-related disputes, and regulatory and governance matters, as well as contributing to advisory work linked to public law litigation. There will be opportunities to develop specialist expertise and take on increasing responsibility as the practice expands.
