Our work spans onshore and offshore advisory, litigation and arbitration across the common law world, with particular depth in the Middle East and the Caribbean.

Core areas of practice include fraud, asset recovery, POCA, financial crime, commercial litigation, international arbitration, crypto and fintech, insolvency, banking and finance, tax, and investigations.

We are looking to recruit a dynamic and ambitious clerk with seven to fifteen years' experience.
