• Independent, comfortable working autonomously; and

Note: We are a legal consultancy, not a regulated law firm. This means we can only provide services in specific areas of practice and do not handle disputes or litigation. However, this also allows us to consider a broader range of candidates for this role.

Since we can hire employees with international legal qualifications, UK qualifications are highly valued but not essential. Additionally, while experience within UK firms is a strong advantage, we also welcome applicants with experience in other common law jurisdictions.
