What we look for

We're on the lookout for enthusiastic self-starters who are always up for a challenge.

Corporate Simplification is a technically demanding discipline which also requires practical problem-solving skills, so we look for students who are quick to grasp new subjects.

It's important to have an inquisitive mind and pay close attention to detail.

You'll often need to review complex legal and technical information; prepare legal documentation and work closely with our clients so you'll need excellent written and verbal communication skills.

We also need you to be proactive and organised as you will be working to strict legal deadlines.

What separates us from our competitors is the financial acumen we demonstrate, and we expect that right from the start from our people.

If that sounds like you, we know you'll enjoy being part of our team.

This would always be discussed with you in this instance.
