Our client is a highly regarded boutique law firm that specialises in reputation and strategic advisory work for entrepreneurial individuals and their business interests on a global scale. Distinct from traditional practices, the firm is dedicated solely to matters arising from commercial activity, often at the intersection of law, media, and high-stakes business.
The team advises on a broad range of complex issues, including disputes over the ownership and misuse of business assets, and matters involving internationally mobile clients whose freedom to operate is affected by how English-speaking financial and regulatory institutions perceive their background. They are also regularly instructed by fast-growth companies navigating scrutiny around performance, media exposure, or public expectations.
Clients include pioneering start-ups, multinational corporations, state-owned bodies, and high-profile figures such as investors, philanthropists, and leaders within emerging industries.
This is an exceptional opportunity to join a dynamic and collaborative environment, working closely with experienced lawyers on cutting-edge matters across multiple jurisdictions. The role offers excellent exposure, high levels of responsibility, and the chance to work with an ambitious and forward-thinking client base.
