* Work with the Risk Management Partner to provide strategy for the development of the team, including a detailed roadmap for future growth aligned with overall firm objectives.
* Lead the team with either existing or newly recruited PSLs, mentoring and supporting staff to work across all practice areas and provide excellent support services to the firm.

* Liaise with the Risk Management Partner, COLP, and other senior management on working practices.
* Research points of law for partners/fee earners to keep them abreast of new points of law and current market developments.
