Associate, Finance

We're taking the firm in an ambitious, exciting direction. You'll grow and help the firm grow with you. We encourage you to view and apply for legal and business services roles across our different offices.

Before applying, you can speak to your local HR Representative for advice on process and also discuss any opportunities you are interested in pursuing with your current manager or partner as soon as possible, and definitely before attending a first interview. Being open and transparent means we can support everyone in the process and plan for potential resourcing needs.

You should keep in mind that there may be immigration and practicing restrictions when considering working in another country. We recommend speaking to your HR/IM representative to understand any local requirements. Some positions in certain locations may not be eligible for visa sponsorship so it is important to assess this as early as possible. Applications will only be successful if you are eligible to work and/or practice in the country. If you are successful in your application for an opportunity in another country, the firm may, in its discretion, provide immigration and relocation support which will be discussed during the offer process.
