About:
Joseph Hage Aaronson LLP is an exciting litigation practice specialising in commercial litigation, international arbitration and tax disputes.
They combine the qualities of a traditional law firm with that of a Chambers. Solicitors and barristers, with their distinctive training and experience, work closely as an integrated team from the beginning of every case. They strive to meet clients’ aims, whether via litigation, arbitration, mediation or settlement. The firm comprises renowned practitioners and leading silks, and specialises in the highest quality and most complex cases.
Role:
They are recruiting ambitious and bright, experienced associates to join their busy practice. They encourage applications from barristers at the independent bar as well as solicitors in established law firms.
You will be encouraged to work on a variety of cases. Rather than sitting in departments, we usually organise work in small, efficient teams. This gives our litigators the best opportunities to improve their skills, and we strongly believe that our clients’ interests are best served in this way.
This is a fantastic role for a self-motivated and autonomous individual, who may be seeking a different environment than the usual large corporate law firm. There will be opportunities to grasp unfamiliar concepts and to apply lateral and divergent thinking. You will work with hard-working, accomplished professionals who strive to provide the most effective advice and strategies.
