There will also be opportunities to work collaboratively with colleagues across the wider firm, giving you exposure to a broad range of clients and a greater understanding of the commercial objectives behind the work.
The client base includes owner-managed businesses, developers, investors, high-net-worth individuals, charities, larger organisations and financial institutions.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond simply processing transactions and become a trusted adviser to their clients.
