2-5 years' experience (economics, legal, finance, consultancy, or related fields)
Strong research skills and lateral thinking
Excellent written and verbal communication
Ability to translate complex data into client-friendly insights
Team player with a proactive, can-do attitude
Competition law knowledge is beneficial but not essential - full training provided

Clear development pathway in a growing practice
Supportive, collaborative team environment
Exposure to high-profile international matters
