* Maintaining exceptional standards of client service with strong attention to detail.
* Collaborating closely with colleagues across tax, corporate, real estate, disputes and international offices.
* Building strong relationships with clients and professional intermediaries.
* Contributing to marketing, profile-raising and practice development initiatives.
