I'm working with a market‑leading, award‑winning regional firm that is expanding its established Private Crime practice as part of significant planned growth. The firm is seeking an experienced criminal lawyer to join its disputes team and help shape a thriving, high‑performing private crime offering.

This role is an excellent opportunity to practice high‑quality public and criminal law within a modern, well‑resourced environment, supported by first‑class technology, strong infrastructure and a genuinely collaborative culture.

You'll work closely alongside another senior solicitor as you collaborate and tackle a varied caseload of privately funded criminal matters, handling PACE interviews, conducting Magistrates' Court advocacy and overseeing Crown Court litigation, while also contributing to business development and mentoring junior colleagues. Overall, this position offers a unique opportunity to make a role your own within one of the finest firms in the Southeast.
