• The ability to explain technical legal solutions in a simple yet effective way
• We’re a collaborative team that brings a supportive and positive vibe to work - but we also work flexibly and aren’t always around checking your work. This means that you’ll need to be able to be organised, work autonomously and show strong initiative.

For us it’s more than just taking your laptop home - we know that it takes effective project management, communication and transparent accountability to make flexible arrangements work. We provide allowances for work from home equipment and coworking space access to help make this work.
