The successful individuals will have strong experience in Forensic Disputes, covering areas such as post-M&A transaction disputes, breach of contract, warranty and completion accounts, expert determinations, business interruption and other complex commercial claims.

At Associate Director and Director level, the focus will be on leading complex engagements, managing client relationships, overseeing the preparation of expert reports and developing junior team members.

At Partner level, there will be an expectation to take a strategic role in growing the practice, developing new client relationships, particularly across the legal community, winning new business and generating fees.

The ideal background:

• ACA/ICAEW or CFA qualified.
• Strong Forensic Accounting and Dispute Advisory experience, gained within a professional services or specialist advisory environment.
• Experience of expert witness work, commercial disputes or post-M&A transaction disputes.
• Strong report writing, analytical and client-facing skills.
• Proven ability to manage complex engagements, teams and client relationships.

These are excellent opportunities for individuals looking to take on greater responsibility and contribute to the continued development of a growing disputes practice.
