Proactivity and enthusiasm - As important as technical skills, we are looking for individuals with the drive and enthusiasm to make the most of every opportunity they are presented with. Proactivity is an essential quality of all members of the team. There is always something new to learn and we expect the team to proactively keep abreast of legal issues, client news, our key sectors and relevant technical issues. This is not a role for anyone looking for the same sort of work day in day out and a successful candidate will find that challenge exciting. Willingness to learn - We do not expect Associates to know everything. We are an exceptionally supportive team that pushes and helps each other to learn as much as possible from our work. To succeed, you will need an open mind ready to take on guidance as well as a willingness to put your hand up to learn everything you can about an industry everyone in the team is passionate about and excited to be involved with. Due to the nature of the work and structure of the team, we are looking to appoint Associate-level candidates, however we will consider candidates with more or less experience. Your career development Like all our lawyers, you will benefit from our multi-award winning career development programme. At each stage of your career this provides you with: clear expectations of your role and what it takes to progress both on a firm wide basis and specifically within the team; • high quality clients and work, with early responsibility and client exposure; • thorough assessment and individual feedback from a range of experienced colleagues; • robust technical training with early skills based development, increasingly tailored to you; and • reward for your contribution, progression and potential, rather than PQE or tenure. Salary and benefits We offer competitive salaries and generous benefits.
