As a Solicitor, you will not only manage a diverse, independent caseload but also act as a key advisor, aligning high-quality legal advice with the commercial objectives of our clients. This is an opportunity to leverage your understanding of the ABS model and contribute directly to the firm's growth and development.

You'll be working on:
  • Driving Case Success with Autonomy: Managing an independent caseload from initial instruction through to successful conclusion. This involves taking full ownership while upholding our rigorous internal quality and risk management procedures.

  • Commercial Awareness: You can align legal advice with client business objectives to ensure commercially sound outcomes.
  • Strong Organisational Capability: Having the capability to effectively manage multiple cases, deadlines, and priorities, particularly within the demands of litigation.
  • Legal Research & Drafting Competence: Competent in performing legal research, drafting complex documents, and producing clear, concise written reports.
Bonus point if you have

  • Take pride in being accountable and owning your responsibilities.
  • Enjoy a fast paced environment where change happens quickly.
  • Are solutions focused and driven to overcome challenges.
  • Embrace resilience and adapt to setbacks with a positive attitude.
  • Are intellectually curious, constantly seeking to learn, explore new ideas, and not afraid to question and improve your understanding.
You may not enjoy working here if you
  • Prefer a more structured, slow moving environment.
  • Feel most comfortable when tasks and processes are clearly defined from the start.
  • Struggle with handling multiple challenges at once or adapting to frequent changes.
  • Tend to stick strictly to your defined role and avoid contributing outside of your responsibilities.
What to expect from the process
  • Screen & Intro: 30 minute video call with the Talent Team to discuss the role and your experience.
