You will advise on a wide range of matters, including:

- A lean team structure with clear scope to stand out

- Market-leading clients across real estate, private capital and finance

This is particularly well-suited to associates looking to step into a more entrepreneurial environment, moving away from heavily layered teams and towards greater visibility, responsibility and progression.
