Refreshingly, this firm is bucking the gloomy trend. Its employment department has gone from strength to strength and it is looking to build on this success by the appointment of a further assistant capable of acting autonomously to undertake a range of contentious and non contentious matters so advocacy experience is a distinct advantage. You will act for a wide range of clients including individuals, businesses and local authorities. You will also be encouraged to take an active role in business development inititatives. This is a rare opportunity for a senior associate who does not have a following to really make their mark and get on a clear track to a highly profitable partnership.
