Research Assistant
Support source checking, case notes and structured legal research.
Join the Research Desk
Careful thinking has a place here.
We support advocate-led legal work with source-backed research, clear writing and disciplined follow-through.
Typical pathways
Research support, built around careful work.
Recurring pathways rather than promises of an active role. Each contribution is supervised by Herman before it reaches a client.
Mentorship Trainee
Develop practical drafting and governance skills under supervision.
Future cohort
Register interest for a later intake when a formal opening is announced.
What matters here
Read closely. Write clearly. Follow the brief.
Source before opinion
Trace the statute, case or regulatory material behind a conclusion.
Make the output usable
Turn research into a short note, checklist, draft or decision route.
Expect review
Every output is checked and structured before it is shared externally.
