  • At least 8 years post‑qualification experience, with a minimum of ~4 years’ litigation experience at a top‑tier law firm
  • Strong dispute resolution background (contractual, construction or financial‑services disputes advantageous)
  • Preferably recent in‑house experience and familiarity with the Middle East market; Arabic language skills desirable
  • Practising certificate or equivalent entitlement to practise in the region
  • Consultant mindset: professional, adaptable, able to work to short‑term assignment deadlines and manage own development
