You will work closely with experienced specialists across multiple disciplines, helping deliver commercially focused and practical solutions on often high‑profile and challenging matters.

The role will also involve:

• Building and maintaining strong client relationships

• Excellent technical drafting and transactional skills
• Ability to manage complex matters and competing deadlines
