To get the right person they will be as flexible as they can be, but you will need a minimum of 3 or 4 years solid practical experience.

In terms of personality, whilst undeniably a technical area of law and they are looking for someone who can demonstrate a real eye for detail, they are also looking for someone who has a team approach, can see things from a commercial perspective and has a hunger to continue their development. This practice will encourage you to be the best you can possibly be, they provide a fast paced but flexible and supportive environment and are know for their down to earth and friendly approach.
