Careers

Real work, real responsibility, early.

A boutique is where lawyers grow fastest. Here you’ll sit close to partners, own meaningful matters sooner, and see the whole arc of a client’s business — not just your slice of it.


01 — Why us

The mentorship of a small firm. The work of a much larger one.

Our clients bring us genuinely interesting problems — fundraises, disputes, exits, novel commercial deals. Because we’re deliberately small, that work lands on your desk, not three layers above it.

We invest in our people for the long term. You’ll be supervised by a partner who knows your name and your matters, given honest feedback, and trusted with responsibility as fast as you can carry it. We also believe good lawyers are rested lawyers — we protect our people’s time and take a hard line against busywork.

02 — What you can expect

More than a desk and a billing target.

The things we actually commit to — not perks for a careers page.

Partner-led training

Direct supervision and real feedback from the partners running each matter — not a distant training department.

Breadth of work

Exposure across corporate, disputes, employment and IP, so you build judgement, not just a narrow specialism.

A humane pace

We work hard when matters demand it and protect your time when they don’t. Sustainable careers, not burnout.

A real say

A small firm hears every voice. Good ideas about how we work travel from trainee to managing partner in a day.

03 — Open roles
