Litigation Lawyer – Full Time

Our Litigation Department deals with a broad range of civil litigation work and currently comprises six fee earners together with support staff.

We currently have a full-time vacancy for an ambitious and energetic Litigation lawyer to join our friendly, hard-working, and supportive team.  The role can be based at any of our offices in Taunton, Crewkerne, Tiverton, Exeter, Honiton, or Exmouth, but the successful candidate must be willing on occasion to travel to our other South West based offices to see clients.  Hybrid working is available.

The successful candidate must be able to work with minimal supervision.

A guideline for the level of expertise is 5 years PQE or equivalent experience, but we are happy to receive applications from those with less or much greater experience, provided they can run their own caseload.

The work comprises a variety of litigation, including property disputes, residential landlord and tenant matters, contract and debt disputes, commercial disputes, and employment matters.

There will also be opportunities to become involved in the firm’s marketing and business development plan and attend networking and social events.   

We offer a good benefits package, and the post will provide excellent career prospects for the successful candidate.

The firm has been rapidly expanding in recent years, with a merger in 2022, our new Tiverton office opening in January 2024, and several new partner promotions and lateral hires. In June 2023 we won the Devon and Somerset Law Society’s Law Firm of the Year award ( £3M+ turnover ). There is a real “feel good factor” and staff say they “really enjoy working here”.

This is an exciting opportunity to become part of our great team and future, working in a professional and friendly atmosphere offering a competitive salary.  If you are looking for a new challenge please send your CV to jo.garrod@everys.co.uk.
