  • Experience in complex commercial disputes, fraud or financial services litigation
  • Strong academic background
  • Comfortable working on high-value, technically complex matters
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Commercially astute with strong client-handling ability
  • Ambitious, driven and keen to progress within a growing practice


Benefits & How to Apply


  • Highly competitive salary plus Bonus up to 35% of base salary
  • Exposure to premium, City-quality work
  • Close access to senior lawyers and early responsibility
  • Clear and transparent progression opportunities
  • Supportive, entrepreneurial and collaborative culture
  • Additional benefits package
