• Cross‑border commercial litigation
• International commercial arbitration
• White‑collar, fraud, and asset‑tracing mandates
• Enforcement and recovery actions involving multiple jurisdictions
• Complex advisory work on international disputes strategy
• Drafting submissions, evidence management, and client‑facing strategic input

The role offers significant autonomy, client contact, and the opportunity to shape the direction of major disputes within a boutique, partner‑led team.
