• Growing commercial practice:
  Work alongside the Head of Department and increasingly contribute to the firm's expanding commercial litigation offering.
• Established platform:
  Join a long-standing independent West End firm with a strong reputation and loyal client base.
• Personal culture: A collaborative, relationship-led environment where personality and team fit matter as much as technical ability.
• Flexibility:
  Remote working and flexibility are available.
