• Outstanding technical ability, particularly with negotiating, drafting and advising on complex contracts
• Client focussed approach with the ability to nurture long standing relationships
• Have the drive and ambition to succeed as a key senior component of the team at TLT, with the commitment to developing the firm’s offering locally and nationally
