Experience of litigation before the EU Courts (e.g. drafting pleadings, familiarity with the Courts’ procedures, experience in supporting teams in oral hearings) is an advantage.
As well as possessing excellent academic credentials, you should be commercially-minded and intellectually curious.

Highly organized and deadlines-driven, you should relish the challenge of delivering outstanding work within the short timeframes our clients expect.
