FZ is an international law firm with a global client base and offices spread across the UK, the US and Australia. We are a tight-knit team.

What We’re Looking For:
- Previous experience as a Paralegal or in a similar legal support role.
- A genuine interest in law and the legal principles at the heart of any dispute or drafting request.
- A strong interest in international trade, commodities and maritime disputes (although legal experience in these fields is not necessary, it is helpful).
- Outstanding organisational skills.
- Ability to prioritise and manage multiple tasks and deadlines.
- Excellent academics, with at least a 2:1 or equivalent from a top university.
