Our client, a leading international law firm, is seeking a talented disputes associate to join its London office.
This is an excellent opportunity to work on complex, cross-border disputes for a diverse international client base. The team is known for handling high-value matters with an international dimension, offering associates early responsibility, close partner interaction and exposure to a broad range of commercial disputes.
You'll join a collaborative disputes practice where lawyers work across a varied mix of commercial litigation and international arbitration matters, rather than specialising too early in one area. The role offers the opportunity to build a broad disputes practice while working on sophisticated, multi-jurisdictional cases alongside experienced practitioners.
