* Strong analytical skills and experience managing complex, multi-party matters.
* Ideally, some exposure to M&A or JV-related disputes.
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to build trust with senior, non-legal stakeholders.
* Happy to work in the office 2 days per week in Lincolnshire (overnight accommodation can be expensed).

* Hands-on role with real responsibility and influence.
