  • Qualification as a solicitor in England & Wales, or another commonwealth jurisdiction (such as Australia and New Zealand, for example)
  • Ideally between 2-6 PQE, although applicants outside of this bracket will also be considered
  • A strong commercial litigation background, with experience gained from notable firms within the UK
  • The genuine desire to join an independent firm in London
  • The ability to commit to a contract role of 6 months in duration
