A well–recognised Top Tier firm in the South East with multiple offices in Kent are looking to recruit an experienced Commercial Litigation Lawyer to join their forward–thinking team in Tunbridge Wells or Dartford. They continued to be recognised and awarded for their legal excellence in both Chambers and Legal 500 across various departments, as well as lawyers being ranked for their outstanding reputation and high–quality service provided.

The role encompasses a diverse range of commercial litigation cases, including breach of contract claims, intellectual property disputes, director and shareholder conflicts, partnership disagreements, reputation management, regulatory issues and professional negligence claims.
