Vacancy details
Our client is a highly regarded boutique law firm that specialises in reputation and strategic advisory work for entrepreneurial individuals and their business interests on a global scale.

The team advises on a broad range of complex issues, including disputes over the ownership and misuse of business assets, and matters involving internationally mobile clients whose freedom to operate is affected by how English-speaking financial and regulatory institutions perceive their background.
