Job Description
Work with young partners in a challenger Forensic function and international brand
Your new companyMy client is a national advisory and accounting firm with a strong international brand and impressive, double-digit year-on-year growth. The firm has recently re-energised and expanded its forensic offering by bringing in Partners in 2 different UK locations, who have an ideal blend of mid-tier firm backgrounds. The current forensic offering is a good blend of expert, fraud/investigations and Ftech/cyber, and expansion will be primarily London focused, with an emphasis on disputes. The team work as a single P&L and as such share resource ,and Partners have considerable strategic autonomy in this "light-touch" firm. Furthermore the firm has global reach yet without the pricing structure of a Top 10 - this too is helping fuel Forensic expansion.
The firm remains a full and proper Partnership.
Your new roleYou'll be the #2 to the London disputes Partner, working closely with him on everything from expansion strategy down to case delivery. Around 50% of the role will be focused on supporting and being a proactive part of market expansion.

* Investigations
* Business interruption/loss of profit
* Shareholder disputes and valuations
* Commercial litigation
* Expert advisory
* Insolvency litigation
* Sale and purchase disputes
* Matrimonial disputes
* Sports disputes
* Professional negligence
This latter - professional negligence - is a significant expansion point for the function ,as not all audit firms can field willing audit Partners to be Experts; our client has two who can be appointed in this capacity.The firm overall is well-established in Forensic Technology and Cyber - growing in the UK and a large function in the US.
