  • Excellent client care and communication skills
  • Commercially aware with a proactive approach to business development
  • Ambitious and interested in long-term career progression
  • Keen to play an active role within a successful and growing department

The Team

You will join the firm's largest department, comprising nine fee earners of varying levels of experience. The team benefits from strong leadership, a collaborative culture, and an excellent reputation in the local market.

For candidates seeking additional responsibility, there is genuine scope to take on leadership duties and work towards future promotion opportunities.

  • 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
  • Additional birthday leave
