- Pulling in tax, property, employment and other specialists as deals require
- Client training and network building, so you start growing a following of your own

- A newly qualified solicitor, with a corporate seat during training
- Sharp analytically, with the judgement to spot what matters on a deal
- Organised and methodical, comfortable juggling several matters at once
- A confident communicator, with clients and with colleagues
- Genuine enthusiasm for transactional work and the drive to build a career in it
Why it is worth a look:
This is a firm with a real record of investing in junior lawyers and growing them into partners, which matters more at NQ than almost anything else. Both the firm and this team are actively growing, so there is momentum behind the team you would be joining.
