  • International exposure to employment law (especially in Europe) is advantageous.
  • Excellent drafting skills and the ability to provide pragmatic, business-oriented solutions.
  • Strong interpersonal and organisational skills with the ability to manage a varied workload effectively.
  • Confidence in advising senior stakeholders and delivering advice clearly and positively.
