Acting as a trusted legal advisor to clients- providing pragmatic, commercially focused advice that spans legal, tax and financial considerations.
	
Collaborating closely with colleagues across corporate finance, tax, communications and accounting to deliver integrated advisory services to clients.
	
Supporting business development by contributing to pitch materials, client proposals, corporate advisory mandates and building client relationships for repeat and long-term work.
	
Managing multiple matters concurrently, meeting deadlines, and delivering high-quality legal output in a fast-paced, deal-driven environment.
