Must-haves

  • Able to manage client relationships without a senior in the room
  • Sound judgement under deadline pressure
  • At least 2 years of post-admission experience in the relevant field
  • Right of appearance in the High Court for litigation posts

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: LPC certificate of good standing plus certificate of admission as an attorney.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
