• Assisting on high value trust matters involving assets and beneficiaries in several jurisdictions

It is essential that you have strong academics and ideally some experience in a private client team as a paralegal (although candidates with an elective in this area and a genuine interest will also be considered) and have exceptional organisational, client and communication skills.
