As an Associate, you’ll bring experience in and work across at least three areas of law, but which areas those are is flexible. Your areas of practice will be shaped around your experience, strengths and where you want to take your career.

You’ll have real ownership of quality, complex matters and the autonomy to work your way, backed by a highly experienced Principal. Our matters span a broad range of law, giving you plenty of opportunity to build experience beyond the areas you already know.

• Career progression – A clear pathway for professional development.

• A work life that feels good – 1 day WFH, realistic expectations, a warm and friendly team and a culture that respects your time.

• Competitive package – Competitive salary, secure car space, gym membership (it's right downstairs!)

• Performance bonus - Based on your performance, targets, client satisfaction and retention - not your ability to bring in new clients.

• Leadership development - Build your leadership, communication and emotional intelligence skills through professional development.
