These are institutional clients with real volume behind them, which means consistent, substantial work and the commercial exposure that comes with acting for lenders at scale.From the outset you will run your own files, navigating litigation, negotiation and enforcement across secured lending portfolios. At this level technical ability is built through exposure, and the volume here means you will develop faster than you would on a smaller caseload elsewhere.

There is also exposure to HNW matters and the offer of cross-border work spanning both Scottish and English jurisdictions, which few recovery practices can offer.This is a long-established firm with a strong heritage, now combined with a modern approach to legal delivery that leverages systems, data and collaboration to achieve better outcomes for clients. You will be encouraged to think commercially, challenge inefficient processes and have a say in how the team operates as it grows.The team has grown substantially, and the firm continues to invest with the intention of strengthening its position across the North. Joining now means being part of that growth rather than a later addition to it.This is an excellent opportunity for a junior solicitor to establish themselves in the secured recovery market, on the platform of a firm that is backing this team properly.Your ExperienceEngland & Wales qualified Solicitor (NQ-3 PQE)Background in debt recovery, litigation or financial services workAbility to manage a high-volume caseload effectively and to deadlineUnderstanding of secured lending, enforcement and recovery strategiesCommercially minded with a proactive, solution-driven approachConfident communicator with strong analytical skillsWhy This Role?Join a Tier 1 ranked debt recovery team at a point of real growthAct for major institutional lender clients on high-volume secured mattersExposure to high-net-worth and cross-border workRapid technical development through genuine caseload exposureBe part of a team the firm is actively investing in and expandingSupportive, collaborative culture with real career progressionCompetitive salary, bonus scheme and comprehensive benefitsTo find out more, contact Ollie Fearon at ollie@jmc-legal.com or call 07441 937638
