What You’ll Be Doing

From the outset, you’ll actively contribute to maintaining and optimising our technical infrastructure. Your role will involve:

  • SQL Database Management: Ensure database reliability, troubleshoot issues, and enhance overall database performance.
  • Automation Support: Refine and support workflows and automation within Microsoft Azure and our CRM systems.
  • Coding and Development: Assist with various internal development and programming tasks, helping build and enhance our technical solutions.

Who We’re Looking For

  • Tech Enthusiasts: Passionate about technology and excited to apply their interests within a dynamic legal environment.

  • Independent Learners: Self-motivated and comfortable teaching themselves new skills, software, and programming languages, actively seeking out solutions autonomously.
  • Ambitious and Motivated: Ready to quickly take on responsibility, rapidly develop their skills, and shape their own career path.
Any familiarity or basic awareness of technologies like Microsoft Azure, SQL, APIs, or data management would be beneficial but isn’t essential—your enthusiasm and willingness to learn are most important.

Flexible and remote working

We do have offices and from time to time or on/for specific projects working from an office can be necessary and useful.

We have hired remotely and multiple team members have and do work from abroad. They can do so seamlessly and remain fully connected; we embrace the global, and digital, economy.

Diverse matters and clientele

We act for a wide range of clients in a wide range of disputes. Our work is increasingly high-quality from an increasingly diverse range of clients based nationally and internationally. We aim to continue hunting for, and winning, local high quality and city level work and relationships.

A dynamic business with budding opportunities

We’re growing fast. There are opportunities for our team to grow with us quickly too. We intend to continue disrupting traditional workflows and winning bigger and more complex clients and disputes.
