• Liaise with parties and members in the conduct of cases before the tribunal;

A high standard of oral and written communication skills as well as an ability to work under pressure will be expected.

Practical experience of competition law, combined with a detailed understanding of procedural law, is an advantage. However, candidates with a strong practical background in related areas of litigation may be considered.
