You will have the opportunity to make a contribution to these ambitious plans for the development of the business and, in doing so, to progress your own career. The vacancy has arisen due to the increasing level of activity and the team's planned revenue growth in the coming financial year. To be a success in this role you will have: - strong technical legal expertise - enthusiasm and a willingness to learn - the ability to work on your own initiative and as part of a team - excellent organisational and project management skills - good interpersonal and communications skills - commercial awareness - a flexible mindset You will be involved in handling all aspects of the team's work.
