  • Commercial acumen – a solid understanding of business, commercial realities, and risk, allowing you to provide pragmatic and commercially savvy legal advice. 
  • Exceptional client service skills – you take pride in building strong, professional relationships, understanding client needs, and delivering advice that is clear, timely, and tailored to their objectives. 
  • Excellent communication and transaction management skills – you are confident in drafting, negotiating, and managing transactions of varying complexity, keeping all parties informed and ensuring smooth progress from start to finish. 
  • Down-to-earth, collaborative, and team-oriented approach – you thrive in a supportive, inclusive environment, enjoy sharing knowledge, and contribute positively to team culture.
