If you are qualified, you will currently specialise in Charities law. If you are newly-qualified, you will be of interest if you have undertaken a seat in Charities law but our client is also keen to hear from newly-qualified lawyers who may not have undertaken a Charities seat but can demonstrate a keen interest in this specialised field of law, together with a strong willingness to learn and to develop their technical knowledge and experience.
