Join a well-regarded, forward-thinking firm in Abingdon with a disputes practice that punches above its weight. You’ll work on a varied, quality caseload across civil and commercial litigation, with modern systems, supportive leadership, and realistic targets that prioritise excellent client outcomes.

Why this firm appeals

  • Reputation & pipeline: Established Oxfordshire brand with steady instructions from local businesses, professionals, and referrers — giving you consistent, interesting matters without volume-driven burnout.

  • Career you can shape: Clear progression (Senior Associate / Team Lead), hands-on mentoring from experienced litigators, and genuine BD support to help you build your profile.

  • People-first culture: Collaborative team, modern case management, and a sensible hybrid pattern so you can focus on strategy and advocacy rather than admin.

  • Room to specialise: Opportunity to develop niches (eg property litigation, contentious probate, professional negligence) while keeping a balanced disputes mix.

The Role

You will manage and develop your own caseload (weighted to your PQE) including:

  • Commercial / contract disputes (supply, services, shareholder/partnership)

  • Property litigation (landlord & tenant, boundary/easements)

  • Contentious probate and trust disputes

  • Debt recovery & enforcement strategies

  • Professional negligence

  • Drafting pleadings and statements; CPR-compliant case management; disclosure

  • Running ADR/mediation, settlement negotiations, and advocacy where appropriate

About You
  • 1+ year PQE (all levels considered; work will be tailored to your experience)

  • Solid knowledge of civil procedure and litigation strategy

  • Clear communicator who builds trust with clients and colleagues

  • Organised, commercially aware, and solution-focused

  • Comfortable taking ownership of files, yet collaborative within a close-knit team

Package & Benefits
  • £45,000 to £60,000 (aligned to PQE and caseload complexity)

  • Bonus scheme, hybrid working, funded CPD, and route to promotion

  • 25+ days’ holiday (plus BH) and enhanced benefits

  • Strong advocacy and ADR exposure, plus support for specialist accreditation
