Working closely with a Partner and with supervisory duties over more junior members the role has real scope to mould, build, grow and lead the team from within, in an atmosphere of support.

Accordingly, this role will involve a wide range of commercial litigation including but not limited to shareholder disputes, breach of contract, professional negligence, corporate disputes, contractual disputes and insolvency.
