This Candidate has been working as a Conflicts Analyst at a Global Law Firm for the past 18+ months. Whilst they have only been working at the firm for the past 18 months, we would compare their knowledge and experience to an analyst with a few years of experience. This is further proven by the fact that within their time at the firm, they were nominated to join a specialist team for Conflicts of Interest issues.
They have really enjoyed their time at the Global Law Firm but feel they are now ready for a new more senior role in a different kind of law firm so that they can broaden their experience.
