About You

Excellent legal writing and research skills are essential coupled high attention to detail and accuracy. Being a collaborative team player, you will need to have the interpersonal skills to build relationships within and outside of the firm.


In return, you will be welcomed as valued member of the firm and will enjoy continuous advancement through tailored programs and support from the partners and senior staff.
