Welcome to SLLP

We provide a wide range of legal services to the London Boroughs of Merton, Richmond, Sutton and Wandsworth and the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, making us the largest local authority shared legal service in the Country.

As such, we are able to offer employment opportunities across all aspects of local government legal work. We take pride in offering a high quality and proactive legal service, bringing all the insight that being an in house service involves and combining that with commercial expertise and a breadth of experience smaller teams may not be able to offer.

We are based in South West London and in normal times, our team can work out of any of 5 locations as well as remotely - agile working has been business as usual for a long time in SLLP. We have a wide range of flexible working options and have developed a number of health and well-being initiatives over the years.

We are looking for energetic and enthusiastic applicants, keen to develop their skills in a public sector environment. Please do not be put off if you don’t have local government expertise – it is your determination to provide a top class legal service which will matter most, the rest can follow.

The successful candidate will have extensive experience of both commercial property and social housing litigation and will be expected to manage a caseload of more complex and important litigation matters. Experience of conducting significant cases for local authorities/social landlords is essential.

In addition the successful candidate will be expected to manage & supervise all litigation work for one London Borough which will be insourced to SLLP in April 2021 and to develop excellent client engagement & relations.

The role may include supervision of commercial litigation cases being conducted by more junior team members and some cross-team working with our Property & Commercial Team. Previous management experience is required.

Previous management experience is required.
