Commercial Litigation Associate (2-4 years PQE) | Dublin
The Opportunity
BCL Legal is working with a specialist commercial disputes firm seeking a talented litigator to join its high-performing team.
The firm handles complex, high-value commercial litigation, regulatory matters, and investigations, representing corporate clients and individuals across major High Court proceedings. Positioned as a dedicated disputes practice, it offers an agile, conflict-free platform that frequently takes on major instructions where larger full-service firms are conflicted out.
This role is ideal for a mid-level associate looking for front-line case exposure, modern practice tools, and a direct path for professional development without the bureaucracy of a traditional large-firm setup.
Key Highlights
· Work across High Court lists on high-stakes litigation, major corporate disputes, and regulatory proceedings.
· Operating in lean, specialist teams, you will gain hands-on experience, direct strategy involvement, and rapid skill progression.
· The firm utilises advanced legal technology and AI tools to streamline process-heavy tasks, allowing associates to concentrate on high-value drafting, research, and trial strategy.
· A pure disputes focus enables the practice to take on contentious, high-profile matters against major institutions and state bodies.
· Flexible working model designed around value-based efficiency and modern practice management.
Candidate Profile
· Irish-qualified solicitor (or equivalent common-law qualification).
· 2-4 years' PQE in commercial litigation.
· Strong foundational background in complex dispute resolution, sharp analytical skills, and the capacity to assist on multi-jurisdictional matters.
