This is an opportunity to leverage your understanding of the ABS model and contribute directly to the firm's growth and development.

Driving Case Success with Autonomy: Managing an independent caseload from initial instruction through to successful conclusion. This involves taking full ownership while upholding our rigorous internal quality and risk management procedures.
Strategic Client Partnership: Acting as a trusted expert to provide comprehensive, high-quality, and timely legal advice. You will be crucial in ensuring client satisfaction while simultaneously aligning legal strategy with the firm's core commercial objectives.
Mastery of Legal Drafting & Negotiation: Drafting, thorough review, and sophisticated negotiation of complex legal documents, contracts, and correspondence across diverse practice areas.
Effective Advocacy and Resolution: Representing clients decisively in negotiations, mediations, and formal court proceedings when required.
Upholding Professional Integrity: Maintaining meticulous client files and case records. This ensures full compliance with the strict standards and requirements set by the SRA (Solicitors Regulation Authority).

Expertise in Litigation Processes: A solid understanding of court procedures, rules of evidence, and relevant laws/regulations, fully conversant with litigation management across small, fast, and intermediate tracks.
Strong Analytical Ability: Skilled at breaking down complex legal issues, identifying key facts, and developing effective legal strategies.
Commercial Awareness: You can align legal advice with client business objectives to ensure commercially sound outcomes.
Strong Organisational Capability: Having the capability to effectively manage multiple cases, deadlines, and priorities, particularly within the demands of litigation.
Legal Research & Drafting Competence: Competent in performing legal research, drafting complex documents, and producing clear, concise written reports.
And bonus point if you have
Experience in an Alternative Business Structure: Experience working within an Alternative Business Structure (ABS) or a strong understanding of its regulatory framework.

📝 Feel most comfortable when tasks and processes are clearly defined from the start.
🤔 Struggle with handling multiple challenges at once or adapting to frequent changes.
