This is a senior leadership position with responsibility for managing an established team and supporting a major IntApp Cloud Migration project.

We are particularly interested in candidates who offer:
- Significant experience in legal conflicts and risk management, ideally within an international law firm.
- A legal qualification, ideally as a qualified solicitor or equivalent.
- Approximately 10 years' experience in conflicts law or a comparable senior role, preferred rather than essential.
