  • Manage disputes, litigation, claims and professional liability matters, including engagement of outside counsel
  • Advise on employment matters, restrictive covenants, partner and equity arrangements, and support corporate development activity including acquisitions, new office openings and entity structuring
  • Lead internal trainings and best practice sharing
  • Support talent acquisition and firm-building initiatives

  • Ability to act as a trusted, commercially minded partner to practice leaders, enabling the firm to win and deliver work while managing risk appropriately
  • Superior written and verbal communication skills, including executive-ready presentation and reporting skills
  • Proven ability to thrive in lean, fast-moving teams

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
