Head of Banking & Finance Litigation / Property Litigation Banking & Finance Litigation | Property Receivership | Insolvency | Build & Lead a New Department Millions of pounds worth of work, no following required Salary: Circa £100,000 DOE + Bespoke Bonus PackageThe Opportunity: This is a genuinely rare opportunity for an experienced Banking & Finance Litigation Solicitor or Property Litigation Solicitor to establish and lead a brand-new department within a boutique law firm backed by an exceptionally strong and consistent source of work. Unlike most Head of Department opportunities, this role does not rely on you bringing a following or generating business. Instead, you will inherit access to a substantial volume of lender-based litigation work that is currently outsourced to external firms. The volume is already there—the firm simply needs the right person to build an in-house team capable of delivering it. If you've reached a stage in your career where you're looking for autonomy, the opportunity to shape a department in your own vision, and the security of guaranteed work from day one, this is an opportunity that is difficult to replicate.About the Firm: This boutique practice has deliberately remained lean, selective and highly specialised. The legal practice is owned by a successful debt recovery business responsible for recovering millions of pounds in property and banking finance matters every year. Rather than competing for work in an already crowded market, the firm benefits from an existing pipeline of lender instructions generated by its parent business. A significant proportion of this work is currently outsourced, creating an immediate opportunity for a senior lawyer to bring these matters in-house and build a dedicated litigation team around them. With just five people currently in the firm, you'll join at an exciting stage of growth while benefiting from an unusually low-risk platform for expansion.The Work: You'll take ownership of a varied and technically interesting caseload acting primarily for lenders and financial institutions, including: Banking and finance litigation Property receivership matters Distressed property litigation Mortgage enforcement Possession proceedings Finance litigation Business insolvency Corporate disputes Statutory demands Recovery and enforcement litigation Complex lender-based disputes This is high-quality, specialist work within a niche area of the market, offering genuine variety and long-term stability.The Role: This position is about far more than managing files. You'll have the freedom to: Build and lead an entirely new Banking & Finance / Property Litigation department Design processes, systems and workflows that suit your style Recruit and mentor your own team as the department grows Shape the strategic direction of the practice area Work closely with the firm's leadership on future expansion Importantly, there is no expectation to undertake business development or bring a client following. Your focus will be on delivering excellent legal work and building a successful department from an already established workflow.About You: Applications are welcomed from senior solicitors or legal executives with substantial experience in one or more of the following: Banking & Finance Litigation Property Litigation Property Receivership Insolvency Litigation Lender Services Mortgage Enforcement Recovery & Enforcement You may already be a Head of Department, Partner, Legal Director or Senior Associate looking for the next step, or an ambitious senior lawyer seeking the autonomy to create something of your own without the financial risk that usually comes with building a new practice.Salary & Benefits: Circa £100,000 salary (negotiable depending on experience) Highly competitive and imaginative bonus structure tailored to the successful candidate Opportunity to build and lead your own department Genuine autonomy with strategic input Immediate access to a substantial pipeline of quality work No requirement for business development Long-term career progression with Partnership potential Modern, entrepreneurial and supportive working environment This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced litigation lawyer who wants the freedom of building something from the ground up, backed by the security of an established and highly profitable source of work. Opportunities offering this combination of autonomy, guaranteed workflow and long-term growth are exceptionally rare.

French & German Commercial/Technology Lawyer | Flexible / On-Demand | Fractional Basis \n \n 📍 UK or continental Europe 📄 Flexible, on-demand engagement — no fixed weekly hours ⏱️ Ongoing, ad hoc basis \n \n Our client, a US-headquartered global tech company, is expanding its enterprise B2B sales into Europe — with France and Germany as its lead markets, and further expansion into Spain, Portugal and beyond on the horizon. Its enterprise software product is aimed at Fortune 500-scale clients, and its legal and sales team is now looking to engage a flexible resource to assist with contracting support entry into the French and German markets. \n \n This is a fractional, on-demand engagement rather than a fixed-hours role — ideal for an experienced contractor who already works this way across multiple clients and is comfortable with variable, deal-driven demand (which may mean quiet stretches followed by a run of concurrent negotiations). \n \n What you'll be doing \n\n • Negotiating SaaS/software commercial contracts in France and Germany, using either the client's own translated templates or third-party paper in the relevant language\n, • Applying working knowledge of French and German contract law market standards to get deals over the line\n, • Turning around negotiations to a fast SLA — typically 2–3 business days' notice\n, • Working directly with the client's commercial/sales teams on a deal-by-deal basis\n\n \n What we're looking for \n\n • Fluent French and/or German, alongside strong commercial/SaaS contract negotiation experience; bar admission in France or Germany is not required - but an understanding of the nuances of their market is ideal\n, • Background with in-house or tech-sector experience (e.g. enterprise software/SaaS) strongly preferred\n, • Comfortable operating autonomously across multiple clients and competing priorities, with strong self-management of SLAs and deadlines\n, • Nice to have: experience negotiating with public sector or quasi-governmental entities in France and/or Germany\n, • Open to contractors based in the UK or elsewhere in Europe\n\n \n This is a flexible engagement with no minimum hours commitment — well suited to a contractor building a portfolio of clients, or a senior lawyer looking for high-value, deal-based work on their own terms. \n Interested?

Most architects are asked to design. Most business development people are asked to sell. This role combines the two. \n \n Vector Homes is looking for an ARB registered architect who can assess a difficult site, shape a credible scheme, lead the client conversation and keep delivery moving. \n \n Approximately half of the role is hands on architectural work. The other half is split between project development, client relationships and work winning. \n \n This is not a pure studio position and it is not a high volume sales role. It is for an architect who wants broader responsibility, direct access to the founders and a genuine route into business leadership. \n \n ABOUT VECTOR HOMES \n Vector Homes is the small site specialist for UK housing associations. We turn garage courts, infill plots, backland parcels and overlooked land into deliverable homes. \n Small sites fail for predictable reasons. Design becomes too bespoke. Planning absorbs too much time. Consultant and contractor coordination becomes disproportionate to scheme size. We solve this through standardised design, rapid feasibility, streamlined planning and trusted delivery partners. \n \n THE ROLE IN ONE SENTENCE \n Turn constrained sites and client relationships into viable, consentable and deliverable housing projects. \n \n HOW THE ROLE DIVIDES \n 50% Architecture and design \n 25% Project development \n 25% Client development and work winning \n \n WHAT YOU WILL OWN \n The balance will move with the pipeline, but the role remains deliberately broad. You will be expected to move between a drawing review, a consultant meeting, a client pitch and a commercial decision without losing rigour. \n \n Architecture and design \n\n • Carry out rapid site feasibility, constraints and opportunity assessments.\n, • Develop site layouts and concept designs using Vector Homes' standardised house types, adapting them intelligently to planning, context, access and viability.\n, • Produce and coordinate planning submissions, design reports, technical information and visual material across the relevant RIBA stages.\n, • Maintain design quality, regulatory compliance, buildability, cost awareness and consistency across the product platform.\n, • Coordinate and review the work of external architects, technologists, engineers and specialist consultants where required.\n, • Improve the design library, templates, standards and repeatable workflows that allow small schemes to move faster.\n\n \n Project development and management \n\n • Lead projects from the first site conversation through concept, viability, planning and delivery preparation, with involvement during construction and handover where required.\n, • Translate client objectives into clear briefs, scopes, programmes, responsibilities and decision points.\n, • Appoint and coordinate planning consultants, engineers, surveyors, ecologists, cost consultants, manufacturers and contractors.\n, • Chair meetings, maintain action and risk registers, drive decisions and provide concise, board ready reporting.\n, • Manage fees, appointments, change control, programme and project economics with the founding team.\n, • Identify delivery risks early and resolve them before they become expensive.\n\n \n Client development and work winning \n\n • Build trusted relationships with housing associations, local authorities, landowners, consultants and delivery partners, with an initial focus on the North West.\n, • Identify and qualify sites and opportunities, then convert early conversations into paid feasibility, planning and delivery commissions.\n, • Lead technical client meetings, site reviews, workshops and presentations.\n, • Prepare proposals, tender responses, framework submissions and pitch materials.\n, • Maintain a disciplined pipeline and CRM, with clear next actions and realistic probabilities.\n, • Represent Vector Homes at sector events, roundtables and targeted networking activity.\n\n \n WHAT YOU BRING \n This is an associate level scope without the distance from delivery that often comes with a traditional associate role.
