Commercial Disputes Partner

William James Recruitment • slough, south east england, uk • 9h ago

Litigation Partner – Commercial Disputes

The Role

William James Recruitment is instructed on a confidential Partner-level opportunity with a rapidly expanding international law firm, recognised for its market-leading litigation, white-collar defence and corporate advisory practices.

The firm is a full-service US law firm with offices across the United States and a recently launched London office established to meet increasing client demand. The London disputes practice focuses on high-value, complex matters and combines the depth, international reach and brand strength of a major US platform with the agility and autonomy of a boutique team.

The firm advises on sophisticated commercial litigation, civil fraud, white-collar matters, corporate investigations and cross-border disputes for a blue-chip international client base. The platform is deliberately open to a range of disputes specialisms and welcomes Partners with established practices across commercial litigation, civil fraud, white collar crime and related contentious areas, including niche or specialist practices that complement the existing offering.

This is an opportunity to join a genuinely entrepreneurial platform, offering autonomy, flexibility and the ability to build and scale a practice within a collaborative, high-calibre environment—without the conflicts, leverage pressures or structural constraints often associated with larger firms.

Revenue Upside & Growth Narrative

Significant cross-referral opportunities from US offices and international client base
Ability to grow beyond existing book quickly, supported by firm-wide BD, marketing and infrastructure
Realistic scope to materially increase personal billings and profit share over the medium term
Platform designed to support Partners who want to build a meaningful, long-term disputes practice in London

Compensation Structure

Client origination fees: percentage of revenue from work originated by the Partner, paid for the lifetime of the client relationship, regardless of whether you ultimately work on the matter
Discretionary bonus: Reflects individual and team performance, with ambition to reward Partners at the top of the market

Why This Opportunity

Partner role within a premium US-firm platform in London
Genuine revenue upside and long-term growth potential
Opportunity to help shape and scale a growing London office
High-quality international work with reduced conflicts
Competitive Partner remuneration with base draw, lifetime origination fees, and discretionary bonus
