If you think this might be for you, we want to hear from you.

Hybrid workers - For the majority of our employees we have implemented a hybrid model whereby there is no minimum (or maximum) number of days they must work from an office location. Instead, we give them the freedom to decide with their team how efficiently and effectively they can deliver the best service to our clients, work with our colleagues and progress their own personal development, all the while balancing it with home life, whilst recognizing the need to adjust plans where circumstances require. Each hybrid worker is given an allowance to create a workspace in their own home.

You will work on all types of dispute resolution work, including litigation, arbitration (international and domestic), adjudication and ADR.

You will pursue opportunities to build new client relationships (in cooperation with other departments and teams) and will maintain existing relationships and inspire and support the team to do likewise.

If you have a particular area of interest in the industry which you wish to pursue, we will encourage and support you.
