• Ambitious lawyer seeking to handle more complex matters

• Team player with genuine passion for private client work

 

What's In It For You:

• Comprehensive ongoing training and qualification support

• Regular social events across all offices

• Career progression opportunities in a supportive environment

• Work with a firm that actively supports local charities and community
