Overview
Job title: Dispute Resolution Solicitor (Crime)
Location: Reading (remote)
Salary: £45k-£55k – depending on experience
PQE Level: 2+
Contract Type: 6-month FTC
Working Hours: Full-time
My client is a notable railway operator who is seeking an individual with strong experience in regulatory or criminal law. This six-month fixed-term contract offers the chance to join this well-known company with operations across the Southeast and Southwest. Court experience-presenting, reading, and handling matters before magistrates-is essential, and wider criminal law expertise will be highly valued.
The role is almost fully remote, with only occasional attendance in Reading for meetings, offering excellent flexibility and work-life balance. You can expect to visit courts (typically three times per month), and all travel will be covered. You’ll gain direct exposure to in-house legal and regulatory matters, with a particular focus on fraud and bylaw litigation, and is an ideal opportunity for a solicitor keen to transition away from police or other crime-focused roles into a more corporate setting. With consistent demand in this area, the contract has a strong likelihood of becoming permanent, but in the immediate term, it provides a highly flexible and important role that is ideal for court-facing lawyers.
