Working within the team, you’ll have the opportunity to work with leading individuals on landmark cases and will be supported by them to further your knowledge of Restructuring and Insolvency law. As we pride ourselves on excellent client care, you will be an exceptional communicator with the ability to work collaboratively as part of a team.
