If you're positive at what you do but the path to partnership feels a long way off, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Our client is a highly regarded full-service commercial firm with a genuinely strong insolvency and restructuring practice. The Partner is busy, well connected, and bringing in more work than the team can comfortably handle, creating an opportunity for an experienced Senior Associate to step in and become a key part of the practice.

This isn't a role where you'll be buried under layers of hierarchy. You'll work directly with the Partner, have plenty of client contact, and run quality matters from the outset. Most importantly, you'll have the opportunity to build your profile and progress your career much faster than you might be able to in a larger team.
