A client following is an advantage but not a requirement. More important attributes are a network of business/professional contacts in the Merseyside area in particular, and the personality and ambition to develop their brand and the Bermans brand further and to play a role in the continued growth of the practice.

The commercial litigation work will typically include shareholder and partnership disputes; warranty claims and other claims arising from business sales; professional negligence actions; contested insurance claims; and a variety of contract disputes.
Property litigation work will typically include contested lease renewals, dilapidations claims and a wide range of other disputes involving the sale, purchase and leasing of property.
There will be some managerial responsibilities with 1-2 other members of the team being based in the Liverpool office at any given time.
