Commercial Litigation Partner

Commercial Litigation Partner | Brighton

A national law firm with serious growth ambitions for its southern offices is looking for a Commercial Litigation Partner to establish and lead its disputes practice in Brighton.

This isn't a token regional hire. Brighton is a strategic priority. The firm has already brought in other senior hires recently, and commercial disputes is the next area they're backing properly.

You'll have genuine autonomy to build and lead a commercial litigation practice with the full support of a national platform:

• Establish the commercial disputes offering in Brighton (and throughout Sussex)
• Work with national backing, regional focus, and real investment
• Leverage the firm's existing corporate, real estate, and broader commercial client base
• Build a team as the practice grows

This is a leadership role with scope, not a salaried partner slot reporting upwards.

The firm is flexible on seniority but clear on ambition:

• Strong Senior Associate, Legal Director, or Partner level
• Solid commercial litigation background across a broad range of disputes
• Established client following and business development track record
• Commercially astute, client-focused, and ready to lead rather than just contribute
• Ambitious and entrepreneurial, this is a build, not a maintain

• Highly competitive partner-level remuneration reflecting experience and business contribution
• National firm resources, brand, and support with regional autonomy
• Real investment in Brighton as a key growth market
• Flexibility to shape the practice and build a team around you

Brighton is booming. The firm is investing. If you want to lead rather than follow, and build something with proper backing, this is rare.
