Looking for something a bit different? This is a rare opportunity to join a top-tier disputes firm known for handling some of the most complex, high-stakes litigation and fraud matters in the UK and internationally. Their clients include global corporates, financial institutions, governments and high-profile individuals, and their work regularly hits the headlines. They’re seeking a Legal Researcher to support their award-winning Commercial Litigation & Civil Fraud team. This role sits at the intersection of law, strategy, and thought leadership.
It’s not about basic background reading; this is about tackling thorny legal questions, finding creative solutions, and supporting both live matters and strategic business development. You’ll be working closely with lawyers and the marketing & BD team on: • Case-related research: exploring difficult legal issues, identifying novel arguments, and shaping litigation strategy. • Thought leadership: helping draft articles, analyse trends, and contribute to high-level discussions on ESG, commercial disputes, insolvency and more. • Content creation: preparing briefings, memos, and presentation materials. • Legal tech and tools: leveraging platforms like Westlaw, LexisNexis, Solomonic, and AI-enhanced tools to support fast-paced, innovative work.
It’s perfect for someone with a research, legal, or journalism background who thrives on complex problem-solving and crisp, structured writing. You’ll need excellent communication skills, a sharp analytical mind, and a knack for distilling dense information into something persuasive and clear.
