  • Draft and refine key employment documentation, including contracts, policies and settlement agreements.
  • Option to mentor junior colleagues, develop leadership capability and help shape the team's future.

Who You'll Work With

Your client base includes:

  • Senior executives and founders seeking high‑stakes strategic advice.
  • HR and leadership teams requiring practical, commercially‑aligned solutions.
  • Established organisations across multiple sectors, offering a balance of contentious and advisory matters.
