Solicitor or Associate – Commercial Disputes – Bristol – Hybrid

Some disputes shape businesses. Others define them. This opportunity offers the chance to work at the centre of high-stakes commercial conflicts, helping clients navigate complex challenges where the outcome truly matters.

A leading law firm is seeking a Solicitor or Associate to join its Commercial Disputes team in Bristol. The role offers exposure to a broad range of sophisticated litigation, arbitration and strategic advisory work, acting for ambitious businesses, international organisations and market-leading clients across a variety of sectors.

Alongside a strong commercial disputes practice, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop expertise in insurance coverage matters, advising clients on policy interpretation, claims strategy and contentious coverage disputes. The work is intellectually engaging, commercially significant and rarely routine.

Responsibilities will include:

• Managing complex commercial litigation and dispute resolution matters
• Advising on insurance coverage issues and policyholder claims
• Supporting clients through arbitration, mediation and court proceedings
• Delivering strategic, commercially focused advice across multiple sectors
• Building strong client relationships and contributing to business development

The ideal candidate will possess strong technical skills, sound commercial judgement and a keen eye for detail. Experience in commercial litigation is essential, while exposure to insurance disputes or coverage work would be advantageous.

In return, they will join a collaborative, high-performing team offering exceptional quality work, genuine responsibility and a clear pathway for long-term career progression in a fast-growing practice.
