Build your career with Zentus Counsel.
We look for people who read carefully, write clearly and are willing to have their reasoning tested. Responsibility comes early, and it comes with supervision.
What the work is actually like.
Small teams, close supervision
Matters are staffed lean. That means fewer layers between a first draft and the person who signs it, and more contact with the reasoning behind a decision.
A practice built on reading
Time to read the authority properly is treated as part of the work, not an overhead. Research is discussed before conclusions are drawn.
Professional growth over time
Progression is discussed openly against the work actually done. Development conversations are regular rather than annual.
How we develop lawyers.
- 01
Responsibility early
Juniors are given real drafting and research responsibility, with a partner reviewing the work and explaining the revisions.
- 02
Supervised learning
Every matter has a named supervisor. Feedback is given while the work is still live, not months later.
- 03
Breadth of matters
Exposure spans advisory and contentious work, so that reasoning is tested in more than one setting.
- 04
Written craft
Clear writing is treated as a legal skill. Drafts are edited closely and the reasons are discussed.
- 05
Collaborative practice
Teams are small and deliberately mixed in seniority, so that questions are asked and answered directly.
