• Assisting with broader advisory and litigation support across the department

To be considered, you will need:

• Qualified Solicitor or Legal Executive (NQ – senior level considered)
• Experience in commercial litigation, civil litigation or insolvency (preferred but not essential)
• Strong drafting, analytical and communication skills
• Ability to manage matters independently and as part of a team
• Good understanding of litigation process and court procedure
• Commercial awareness and a client-focused approach
