Your new company
My client is a global advisory firm who specialise in commercial disputes, valuation advisory, litigation & international arbitration, investigations/intelligence, compliance/monitoring, forensic technology and data analytics. A single global p&l they have for many years been adept at resourcing projects with their international as well as domestic staff, a strategy which means that cases can be progressed through different time zones and therefore for longer continuous time periods. London has 3 testifying Experts and is highly ranked/rated in both Chambers and WWL. Promotion and a surge in demand means that the London team are now ready to hire an experienced Senior Manager or junior Director - first promotion from one to the other is of course in scope.
Your new role

- They work seamlessly as a global firm and international / cross-jurisdiction experience is guaranteed.
- Handling as much autonomy and responsibility as you feel ready for, yet also having the space for business development and further growing your own profile
- Applicably soft utilisation target (60%) , though year one likely to see a higher ratio of changeability (the firm is incredibly busy.)
What you'll need to succeed
Experienced to at least Senior Manager/ Associate Director level
Natural predisposition - in experience and appetite - towards disputes and valuations
Keen to develop your path towards Expert in your own right
What you'll get in return
- Support and mentoring from seasoned Experts
