Corporate Commercial LAA – Surrey
We are currently seeking a full-time corporate commercial LAA with a minimum of 3 years of experience to support a busy solicitor’s practice.
If you thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment and enjoy working collaboratively to get deals done, this could be the opportunity for you.
