Location: London (Hybrid)

Contract: Fixed Term – Initial 12 months

PQE: 8+ years

Start Date: ASAP

A highly regarded prestigious London law firm with a standout reputation in group litigation and competition damages claims is looking to appoint a Senior Competition Litigator (8+ PQE) to join its specialist team on a 12-month contract, with strong potential for extension.

You’ll be working closely with two of the firm’s most senior partners on a major and widely publicised competition damages case, representing a substantial group of claimants in a matter currently progressing through the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT). The case arises from a significant cartel decision by the European Commission, and the firm is acting as lead solicitor in the collective action.

The Opportunity:

• Lead on a high-profile and significant competition claim involving complex legal and strategic issues
• Engage directly with top-tier partners, counsel, economists, and experts
• Work within a close-knit, highly collegiate litigation team
• Join a firm known for its successful track record in collective redress and group actions
• Benefit from flexible, hybrid working and a supportive environment

What they’re looking for:

• A minimum of 8 years’ PQE with significant experience in competition litigation
• Strong familiarity with CAT procedure and competition damages claims
• Experience acting in large group claims or collective actions is highly desirable
• Ability to manage high-value, document-heavy disputes with minimal supervision
• Excellent litigation, drafting, and case strategy skills

Who this might suit:

• A senior competition litigator looking for a high-impact interim role
• A contractor with previous CAT experience seeking a new challenge
• A disputes lawyer with a strong academic profile and a keen interest in cartel-related work

This is an excellent chance to be part of a landmark case at a firm that consistently punches above its weight in the group litigation space.
