Commercial Litigation Shareholder Disputes Arbitration Breach of Contract Client Relationship Management Business Development

FULL DESCRIPTION

[Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk] is seeking a Commercial Litigation Partner to advise on commercial litigation matters, play an active role in the strategic growth of the Dispute Resolution practice, contribute to business development, and work closely with partners and colleagues. The role offers a genuine partnership opportunity with influence over strategy and direction, high-quality litigation work, competitive remuneration, and hybrid working.

About the Firm

Founded by Jeremy Boyle, Summit Law has built a strong reputation for dispute resolution and contentious insolvency. The firm has grown organically while maintaining a clear focus on quality, responsiveness and commercial outcomes.

We have strong international connections through EALG (Euro-American Law Group) and long-standing relationships across Europe and beyond, enabling us to act effectively on cross-border disputes.

At Summit Law, working as a team is one of our five core values. We operate as a genuinely collaborative, partner-led firm where people support one another and share in the firm’s success.

The Role

The successful candidate will:

  • Advise on a broad range of commercial litigation matters, including breach of contract claims, shareholder disputes and arbitration
  • Play an active role in the strategic growth and development of the Dispute Resolution practice
  • Contribute to business development and client relationship management
  • Work closely with partners and colleagues across the firm in a non-siloed environment

Experience in property-related disputes is advantageous but not essential.

How We Work

We believe transparency and communication are essential to a successful firm. We hold monthly team meetings to discuss workloads and challenges, share the firm’s performance and future plans, and encourage meaningful contribution from across the team.

What We Offer

  • A genuine partnership opportunity with influence over strategy and direction
  • High-quality, complex litigation work without big-firm bureaucracy
  • Competitive and transparent remuneration
  • Bonus structures and private healthcare benefits
  • An extra day’s leave for your birthday (or the day after), as our gift to you
  • Agile hybrid working supported by modern, cloud-based systems
