  • Strong commercial awareness and strategic thinking.
  • The ability to manage matters independently while working collaboratively within a specialist disputes team.
  • Experience of cross-border litigation or arbitration would be highly advantageous.

  • Work on career-defining commercial litigation and arbitration matters.
  • Gain exposure to sophisticated cross-border disputes involving multinational clients and sovereign entities.
  • Enjoy direct partner access, early responsibility and significant client contact.
