ABOUT YOU

With drive and an enthusiasm for a broad diet of corporate finance work, you will not require experience in all of the above areas as all team members have areas of greater specialisation with the opportunity to become a "go to" lawyer in areas of particular interest.

An appetite for business development will be a definite advantage.

Successful candidates are also likely to be strong team players with good inter-personal skills, strong academics and high quality experience - typically with a major City or leading national/regional practice - and to possess excellent communication and negotiation skills.

First-class support and learning and development opportunities are provided and early responsibility is offered.

This offers a chance to join one of the most profitable firms in the south of England, providing excellent long term career opportunities for ambitious candidates who aspire to partnership.
