Overview

This is a fantastic opportunity to work on complex, high-value cases, build your own client relationships, and develop your career in a genuinely collaborative and supportive environment.

  • Insolvency litigation experience is useful but not essential.
  • Property law experience would be an advantage but is not essential.
  • Comfortable managing your own caseload and contributing to complex team matters.
  • Commercially minded and keen to grow your own client base.
  • Active in business development (networking, blogging, converting enquiries).
