Police Litigation & Court Advocacy Solicitor

We are recruiting a motivated Solicitor (NQ–5 years PQE) to join a nationally recognised police law team. In this fast-paced, meaningful role, you will manage your own caseload of civil protective order applications—including Domestic Violence Protection Orders (DVPOs), Stalking Protection Orders (SPOs), and Sexual Harm Prevention Orders (SHPOs)—preparing high-quality bundles and conducting advocacy in the Magistrates’ Court. You will provide practical operational advice to police clients, collaborate with a supportive wider team, and enjoy real responsibility and autonomy from day one.

This is a remote-first role, with hearings primarily based in Brighton and occasional travel as required.

• Qualified Solicitor in England & Wales with 0–5 years’ PQE.
• Previous experience in police law or civil protective orders is ideal, though a genuine interest in developing this expertise and a flexible, adaptable approach to varied work are essential.
• Court advocacy experience is preferred; support is available to build confidence in independent applications.
• Willingness to attend court as needed, prepare bundles, and manage a high-volume caseload.
• Self-motivated, organised, and calm under pressure, with strong accuracy and professionalism.
• Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment and committed to safeguarding vulnerable people and creating safer communities.
• Must meet police vetting criteria, including residency requirements (per the relevant police vetting policy).
