In addition, your career and development opportunities are vast with exposure to clients and lawyers from day one. Being part of a specialist group, but within a truly global firm, means your personal impact will be instant but will be supported by an ambitious full service professional services firm.

- Project managing cases
- Drafting expert witness reports
- Assisting directors or managing directors during a court or tribunal hearing

- Excellent academics and qualified at ACA or equivalent level, first time passes desirable
- Strong numeracy skills with the ability to process and analyse large volumes of data
- The ability to explain complex, technical issues in an understandable manner to lawyers and lay parties
- A logical and methodical approach to problem solving, as well as being able to develop innovative solutions to complex problems

- Modelling, testing, documenting financial scenarios and anticipating challenges
- Valuation and finance concepts, e.g. cost of capital, risk adjusted discount rates
- Analysing strengths/weaknesses of opposing cases, formulating alternative damage scenarios and advising on strategic implications
- Investigation techniques, e.g. asset tracing, interviewing
- Different dispute resolution mechanisms, e.g. trial, civil hearing, mediation, arbitration, regulatory/competition tribunals
- Preparation of forensic/expert witness reports including review, analysis and verification of evidence
- Liaising with clients, in-house counsel, external legal teams, witnesses, other experts and regulatory enforcers
