Hours: Full Time
We're a national law firm with a local reach. Our philosophy is 'we're legal and financial experts that care' - something you'll find in the way we work with our clients and how we support our teams. But we're more than just a law firm - we're a team of people working together to help individuals and businesses navigate life's ups and downs. Working here you'll feel a part of our friendly and inclusive environment.
We'll value you for who you are and what you bring. We support each other and push boundaries to achieve incredible things and make a real difference to our clients and communities.
Your Role and The Team
Your Role
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious individual to join a growing team as an Associate/Senior Associate. You'll have the chance to work closely with partners and be involved in varied and interesting transactions right from the start, working with well-established clients. Given the nature of the role, you will be highly organised and able to work pragmatically. The role will involve working independently with support where required from partners but also working as part of a team for larger projects.
You'll work to participate in relevant practice development initiatives, seek to get involved with business development opportunities and keep up to date with changes in relevant law and practice. To drive best practice further, you will be an exceptional team player with the ability to work collaboratively to deliver the best outcomes for our clients and to develop other team members.
