The posting

LegalVision is a commercial law firm built for high-performing businesses and lawyers who want to work differently. Our team uses custom-built technology to deliver fast, high-quality legal support with predictable pricing for clients, and rewarding careers for those who work here. With operations across the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, LegalVision offers clear career progression, exposure to complex work, and the opportunity to be part of an innovative law firm that's transforming the legal industry.

If you are excited about the prospect of growing a practice in an innovative and growing business that offers challenging work, a fast-paced environment, and unique professional development opportunities, then we’d love to hear from you!

The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity exists for a versatile dispute resolution lawyer to join our growing team as a Practice Leader. You will have experience in supporting commercial clients of all sizes with a broad range of disputes (specifically contractual, corporate, employment and leasing disputes), as well as debt recovery matters.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Managing and directing your own varied caseload of litigious and pre-litigation matters from inception right through to trial or resolution.
  • Building direct, trusted-advisor relationships with clients, where your strategic advice genuinely shapes business decisions and commercial outcomes.
  • Running large, complex commercial litigation.
  • Guiding junior lawyers through complex matters, fostering their professional growth and confidence, and reviewing their work.
  • Sharing your expertise through articles, webinars and internal training.

This is an opportunity to practice law differently - without the inflexibility, micromanagement and face-time of traditional law firms - whilst continuing to work on challenging matters with interesting clients. You’ll enjoy the benefits of autonomy and flexibility, whilst working alongside legal experts who genuinely care about and are invested in your professional growth.

Our headquarters are in Manchester, but we are happy to consider candidates based anywhere in England for this position.

The Ideal Candidate

  • Qualified and capable: A 5+ PQE UK qualified lawyer with demonstrated experience in assisting commercial clients (particularly SMEs) in a range of dispute resolution matters. Experience in construction disputes would be ideal.
  • Proven ability to manage litigious and pre-litigation matters with minimal supervision.
  • Commercially minded with the ability to provide strategic, practical advice aligned to clients’ broader business objectives.
  • Strong client relationship and communication skills, with the ability to build trusted-advisor relationships.
  • Excellent drafting, negotiation, advocacy, and matter management skills with strong attention to detail.
  • Comfortable working across a diverse range of industries and adapting quickly to new commercial contexts.
  • Team-oriented lawyer who values collaboration, flexibility, and a positive workplace culture.

The Perks

  • Forward-thinking environment with accelerated growth opportunities for high performers.
  • Welcoming office environment in Ancoats and hybrid/remote working.
  • 25 days holiday (excluding bank holidays), enhanced maternity pay, plus contractual sick pay, paid volunteering, and birthday leave.
  • Annual budget to spend on external learning and development.
  • Regular team socials and events.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
