Are you a talented litigation lawyer with 1-3 years' post-qualification experience looking to specialise in international arbitration? A leading global law firm is hiring an Associate to join its London-based Dispute Resolution team, with a focus on investor-state arbitration and complex cross-border litigation.
This is a unique opportunity to work on high-profile international disputes involving sovereign states, multinational corporations, and global investors. You'll gain exposure to ICSID, UNCITRAL, and other major arbitration frameworks, advising on matters that are legally and politically significant.
Key Responsibilities:

  • Advise clients on investor-state and commercial arbitration matters.
  • Handle complex litigation across sectors including energy, infrastructure, and finance.
  • Collaborate with international teams on cross-border disputes.
  • Contribute to strategic case development and client relationship management.

What We're Looking For:

  • 1-3 years' PQE in litigation or arbitration, ideally with exposure to public international law or investor-state disputes.
  • Strong academic background and analytical skills.
  • Commercial awareness and ability to deliver pragmatic legal advice.
  • Excellent communication and client-facing skills.
  • Interest in international law and global dispute resolution.

Why Apply?

  • Global Exposure: Work on disputes that shape international legal frameworks.
  • Prestigious Clients: Represent governments, corporates, and investors.
  • Career Development: Structured training, mentoring, and secondment opportunities.
  • Inclusive Culture: Join a diverse, collaborative team with a hybrid working model.

This is an ideal role for a junior lawyer seeking to build a career in international arbitration within a top-tier legal environment. Apply now to join a firm that values excellence, innovation, and global impact.
