Litigation & Dispute Resolution - Associate
Ref: 30 Date Posted: Monday 12 Apr 2021
Commercial litigator sought by world-renowned dispute resolution practice.  Home to market leading experts in the field, this practice is particularly well known for dealing with highly contentious court actions, typically very complex, and often involving multiple jurisdictions.
 
This opportunity will suit candidates who prefer to focus on large and complex matters, as opposed to managing a larger volume of smaller disputes.  The world’s largest insured entities turn to this team when they are faced with some sort of “bet-the-company” litigation.  These significant commercial disputes normally involve a high value negligence claim, such as the defence of an international law firm in relation to major losses ensuing from legal advice on a big-ticket transaction.
 
This international firm offers a relatively good work-life balance compared to other top tier litigation practices undertaking similarly high quality work, which may interest applicants at senior associate level who are looking to strike a sustainable balance.
 
The firm’s overall practice composition and client base are such that its fee earners across the board will largely be kept busy during a downturn.  Accordingly, any cost-cutting measures would be extremely limited, and the firm is one of the few that has had the confidence to continue to make well-considered, strategic hires.
 
For more information about this role, and this firm, with which Ardent enjoys a very close working relationship, please get in touch with Jon Kennedy via jon.kennedy@ardentrecruit.com or 07376 288 737.   Ardent has a great track record in this area of practice, and can provide a wealth of advice about the litigation market and roles nationally.
