SOC 2412 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 42% sure that is the right code. Rutherford is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2419 (Legal professionals not elsewhere classified., If the role were specifically an arbitrator rather than a solicitor advising on arbitration.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
