The successful candidate will possess excellent communication skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to provide pragmatic, commercial advice to clients facing challenging situations.

THE FIRM:
This is an excellent opportunity to join a market-leading team working at the forefront of an increasingly important and evolving area of law. You will benefit from exposure to high-quality work, genuine career progression opportunities and a supportive culture that encourages professional development.

The firm offers flexible hybrid working, an excellent benefits package and the opportunity to work alongside recognised specialists in the field.

PACKAGE:
