Your new company

This opportunity sits within a prominent national law firm that has recently strengthened its government legal practice by welcoming a highly regarded team previously operating under another major firm.

  • Strategic legal advice for government clients

What you'll need to succeed

To be successful in this role, you will bring:
- A minimum of 2 years post-admission experience
- Proven experience in government litigation or disputes
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving abilities
- High attention to detail and professional integrity
- Eligibility to obtain or currently hold a baseline security clearance

You'll be proactive, self-motivated, and confident in engaging with stakeholders at all levels. Strong time management and multitasking skills are essential.

What you'll get in return

This firm offers genuine career development opportunities and a supportive team culture. Benefits include:
- Flexible working arrangements
- Generous parental leave
