In House Counsel - Civil Litigation - 3-6 Months FTC

Job details

Posted Thursday 08 January 2026
Salary Negotiable
Location North East
Job type Contract
Discipline Solicitor
Reference 1482
Recruiter Name Sophie Linley

We have been briefed by a well-known business looking to recruit an In-House Solicitor for a fixed-term contract of 3-6 months.

This is a unique opportunity for a Lawyer with strong civil litigation experience, ideally including experience managing consumer claims and/or mis-selling.

The business is based in the North East of England, but is happy for this person to work largely from home, so applicants based in Yorkshire or the North West who are comfortable working remotely are encouraged to apply.

You’ll have plenty of support from the business and its legal team, but will need to be comfortable managing a full caseload of civil claims with autonomy, and are therefore likely to have a minimum of c. 5 years’ experience handling civil litigation matters. You will also need to be available to start imminently.

For more information on this role, please do not hesitate to get in touch with Sophie Linley at Sacco Mann on 0113 236 6711 – we’d be happy to share full details.

If this role isn’t for you and/or if you are not available for a contract position, please do feel free to forward on within your network – we hugely appreciate any referrals and do have a thank you scheme in place.
