**About Withersworldwide**

A law firm focused on people and collaboration. For the past 125 years, Withers has supported some of the world's most remarkable people and organisations at defining moments in their lives. We are the only international law firm focused on successful individuals and private capital, working closely with founders, investors and family offices. We also advise governments, charities, global brands and start-ups of all shapes and sizes. Many of our clients are shaping the future and creating solutions to tackle many of the world's problems. It makes for a fascinating and challenging practice. Our role is to get to know each individual client, find out where they want to be, and help them to get there - whether they are building a business, looking after their family, involved in a complex dispute or protecting their finances for the future. To meet their unique needs we are exceptionally collaborative, working together across teams and time zones. We are agile, focusing on strategy rather than rigid ideas and traditional hierarchy. It is a truly flexible working culture that puts people first. Join us to be part of a team that is always looking to the future. Where initiative, big ideas and bold moves are always encouraged. Where you can truly be yourself.

We have long-standing relationships with many well-known employers, including Tate, Guide Dogs, Winton Capital Management, MaxMara and Aston Martin Racing who call on us for everything from advice on contracts to crisis management when wrongdoing by an employee is discovered. We also support a number of smaller and fast growing businesses, mainly in the tech sector, both on their employment needs and (in conjunction with our tech and corporate teams) on investment rounds and other transactions.

With offices around the world and lawyers qualified in more than one jurisdiction, we are well placed to help senior executives and employers with cross-border matters. As a full-service firm, we can also call on colleagues to help with associated matters including tax, immigration, white collar crime, regulatory issues and reputation management.

We are seeking a proactive associate who can quickly build confidence with clients (internal and external) to deliver commercially astute and legally accurate advice.
