- High levels of organisation and ability to manage multiple deadlines.

- In-depth technical knowledge of core Restructuring & Insolvency areas.

- Ability to conduct independent legal research and provide strategic recommendations.

- Business development and marketing acumen, with financial management awareness.

- Strong academic credentials.


This role offers a rewarding career path with numerous benefits, including:

- 25 days’ annual leave (increasing with tenure) plus office closure between Christmas and New Year. SMART Employee Pension Scheme. Comprehensive travel insurance covering employees and eligible family members. Death in Service (3x basic salary). Private Medical Insurance (opt-in available for family members).
