• Lead a small team (1 junior solicitor, 1 paralegal, 1 assistant)

• Collaborate with the Managing Partner on departmental growth

• Get involved in business development (a following isn’t essential, but commercial mindset is key)

• Strong track record in general and commercial litigation, property disputes, and contentious probate

• Experience supervising or mentoring junior lawyers

• Excellent written and verbal communication
