Senior Competition Lawyer
Location: London
Salary: £85,000 + (DOE)
Eclectic Recruitment are working with a leading UK law firm who are looking to add a Competition Senior Associate to their London team, with the unique opportunity to help build a new competition law department.
The role offers the chance to play a defining part in establishing and growing a competition practice from the ground up. The successful candidate will have a real hand in shaping the team structure, the work it targets and the reputation it earns in the market, alongside exposure to a broad range of high-quality competition matters, including merger control, antitrust investigations, cartel and abuse of dominance work, competition litigation and wider regulatory advisory.
You will join a well-regarded firm that has made a clear commitment to this practice, with early influence, visibility with the partnership and a clear path to leadership as the department grows. You will also have the opportunity to develop direct client relationships and play an active role in the firm's continued expansion.
