The Opportunity
Following the recent arrival of leading figures in the market, this team is in growth mode, presenting a rare chance to join at an inflection point.

The Firm

Associates are given real responsibility, top-tier work, and ongoing support from leading lawyers in the field. This is the ideal environment for an ambitious associate looking to take their career to the next level.
