Associate, Litigation Communications

An associate to join Frances Idowu’s litigation communications practice in London.

We are looking for an associate to join our litigation communications practice in London, which advises clients and their lawyers on disputes, investigations and regulatory proceedings that are, or may become, public.

You will draft statements, questions and answers and briefing notes; keep the record of approved lines on live matters; monitor court reporting; attend hearings; and work closely with clients’ solicitors and counsel. Most of the practice’s matters run for months or years, so you will see them through.

What we are looking for

  • Two to four years’ experience in communications, journalism or a law firm
  • Writing that is exact, short and calm under pressure
  • An understanding of how litigation works in England and Wales; a law degree or legal training is helpful but not required
  • Willingness to join the out-of-hours rota once trained
