Consultant (Litigation & Disputes)

Thorndon Partners is growing its specialist Litigation & Disputes team and is looking for a talented Consultant (equivalent to Account Manager level) to join the practice in London.

This is an ideal next step for someone currently operating at Senior Account Executive level, or newly appointed as an Account Manager, who is ready for greater responsibility, more project management ownership, and a promotion.

We are ideally looking for a multi-lingual Consultant, preferably speaking French or another widely spoken language in addition to English. Digital experience is also helpful.

Our clients include governments, high-profile investors, global businesses, sports entities, academics, campaign groups and NGOs.
