Job description

Your new company
My client is a pureplay Advisory firm with international/cross-border and domestic capabilities. Their expertise is broad-based but includes recovering value from underperforming businesses, strategic transactions maximising stakeholder value, ligation/ disputes, mitigating risk, asset identification and recovery and helping clients meet operational/ financial challenges head on. With a consistent and steady growth record since inception, they have an exemplary track record of internal promotion to Partner and have formalised this recently into a full MD program.
Forensic Accounting sits at twice the fee income ratio of that which is found in a full-service firm, and has a strategic "voice at the table" in terms of Board representation. It's a national team with full capabilities in expert witness and disputes, valuations (in the context of shareholder disputes, business valuations, matrimonial and more), investigations and asset-tracing plus a well-established E-discovery/FTech function. Typical instructions have come from the UK, Europe, North America, Asia and Africa, with quantum ranging from the low £thousands to £billions.
Team capabilities have been drawn from a competitive range of former big firm experience who have chosen to join a more agile environment, competitor firms, and home-grown both from graduate trainee and qualified converter.
Your new role
The firm are ready to engage with a Disputes/Expert/Contentious Valuations Director who feels they are ready for MD/Partner. Depending on attributable fees this would either be as a first-promotion MD on entry, or an accelerated program designed to get you there in one year.
What you'll need to succeed

• A track record in the UK Forensic Market to established Director level (minimum)
• Winning work/attributable fees on a regular basis
• Keen to complete your Expert and Partnership journey in a role/firm whose entire purpose would be to get you there

What you'll get in return

• A development programme featuring personal development coaching, mentoring, BD coaching and leadership development workshops
• Leveraging on dedicated business development professionals in every service-line
• Benefitting from a firm brand extremely well-known in the Legal sector
• Ability to propose for a wider range/scale of mandates than would be typical for a larger firm
• The chance to work for an entrepreneurial, multi-faceted, highly collaborative group
• Working with fellow newer Partners as well as seasoned/experienced
• A personal mentor to support you
• MIPs on attaining MD/Partner
