  • Contributing to efficient delivery of legal services through structured processes

Professional standards

  • Maintaining up-to-date knowledge of relevant areas of law
  • Ensuring accurate and timely time recording and compliance with financial disciplines
  • Supporting the wider team with client-related and operational tasks as required


Essential Skills & Experience

  • Qualified solicitor or barrister in England & Wales or Northern Ireland (ROI and other common law jurisdictions considered)
  • 1+ year PQE with at least 6 months’ experience in disputes or litigation (3+ PQE desirable)
  • Strong academic background (Law degree 2:1 or above or post-graduate qualification in law)
  • Minimum 3 A Levels or equivalent (ideally grade B or above)
  • Experience in a commercial legal environment (ideally private practice)
  • Exposure to disputes work such as document review, due diligence, or volume legal work
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to manage structured, process-driven work
  • Innovative mindset with curiosity around AI and emerging legal technologies


What’s on Offer

  • Opportunity to work in a cutting-edge legal delivery environment combining law and technology
  • Exposure to large-scale, complex disputes and data-driven legal projects
  • Structured supervision and clear career progression pathways
  • Collaborative, high-performing team environment
  • Hybrid working model (3 days in office, 2 days remote)
  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Private medical insurance (fully funded)
  • Life assurance (4x salary)
