    • Draft complex witness statements, expert reports and pleadings.
    • Run project processes on significant cases and work towards being the lead associate.
    • Develop litigation skills, both procedural and substantive, and work closely with leading barristers, economists and other expert witnesses.
    • Draft letters/emails to client/other side.
    • Run document reviews and disclosure projects.
    • Attend mediation/settlement discussions and draft settlement agreements.
    • Enhance financial skills, including by working in close cooperation with expert economists.
    • Produce business development plans and work with our BD Manager to generate additional ideas.
    • Delegate to and mentor junior associates and trainees.
    • Participate in seminars/training to clients and other associates.
    • Establish profile and relationships with partners and clients, and in the market.

    Freshfields is a Ban the Box employer. We ask applicants to disclose criminal convictions only when a conditional job offer is made. A conviction does not automatically lead to withdrawal of the offer: we make decisions on a case by case basis and take a number of factors into account (eg the role you are applying for and the circumstances of the offence). You would have the opportunity to discuss the matter with us before we make a decision.
