What we offer

Our lawyers work on an employed and flexible basis, working remotely with access to meeting space in Birmingham, Cambridge, Cardiff, London, Manchester, Oxford, Sheffield and Southampton. We work really hard to ensure our lawyers feel part of a team so they can collaborate, share ideas and enjoy each other’s company. The remote set up allows people to work from wherever they want, to give people the flexibility they need, for whatever reason. But we want people to feel that they belong to an ambitious company and that their contribution towards our growth is recognised individually and as a team.

What does the ideal candidate look like?

This opportunity is suited to lawyers with wide ranging commercial litigation experience (ideally including construction litigation) and running a variety of complex commercial litigation cases independently and concurrently with paralegal support when required.
