  • Running shareholder oppression and partnership disputes.
  • Litigating complex contractual and commercial claims.
  • Advising responsible entities and trustees on scheme management.
  • Acting in joint venture, M&A, and financial services disputes.
  • White collar crime and fraud matters.

About You

  • Minimum of 2 years' experience practicing as a Lawyer, with litigation experience.
  • A strong interest in disputes, investigations, and regulatory matters.
  • A collaborative approach, a desire to learn from experienced practitioners, with a proactive approach.
  • Confidence in managing competing priorities and deadlines.
  • A commercial mindset and proactive approach to client service.
