Day to day, you’ll be handling matters from start to finish, and attending court hearings and undertaking advocacy work when needed. Strong communication is key, as you’ll be handling consultations, answering queries, and keeping clients updated.

Building relationships is a big part of this role. The firm want someone who genuinely enjoys working with clients, whether it’s handling feedback, resolving concerns, or attending networking events, you’ll play a key role in strengthening client relationships.
