• Experience or training in litigation, with exposure to commercial disputes, property disputes, or general civil litigation.
• A sound understanding of dispute resolution procedure and the Civil Procedure Rules.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build confidence with clients and colleagues.
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities effectively.
• A practical and commercially aware approach to problem-solving.
