2. Advocacy at inquests, Court of Protection hearings, and Tribunals;
3. Active involvement in client care and business development.

What We Are Looking For From You:

1. An interest in developing a career in health, social care law, and/or education law;
2. An ability to work confidently and effectively with others, clients, and colleagues alike.

Hybrid Working

We operate a hybrid working model based on the needs of our clients, teams, and people. Our core business hours are 9am - 5:15pm Monday to Friday, but we're open to our people working more flexibly around those times and welcome a conversation with you if you have any questions about this. We try to offer you the flexibility to work your week in a way that suits you.
