Proven legal skills with a specialization within disputes and litigation
To thrive in this role, you have good people management skills and collaborate effectively with others. Your problem-solving abilities are great, especially when dealing with complex matters. With your effective communication skills, you can explain legal concepts to non-legal stakeholders. You are keen to use legal expertise to meet organizational targets.
