Claims & Litigation Support – Assist in managing customer claims and litigation by preparing case summaries, drafting correspondence, and liaising with the business and external counsel, where necessary.

Project Involvement – Contribute to complex projects such as acquisitions, disposals, and corporate transactions by preparing initial documentation and reports.

Administrative & Reporting Tasks – Maintain accurate records, track deadlines, and support the General Counsel and wider team with ad hoc tasks.

Cross-Functional Collaboration - Work closely with commercial, regulatory, and risk and compliance teams, and the wider business, to provide timely legal advice and support business objectives while mitigating risks.
