Job Description
We are looking for an exceptionally bright, hardworking, and able junior lawyer to join our growing team. There will be a high level of responsibility from the outset and the successful candidate will work on our leading cases in the gaming and collective actions space. Milberg is acting on the highest profile, cutting edge, collective action matters in the UK and this is an exciting opportunity to join a fun and entrepreneurial team. We are a young, ambitious, dynamic team and there is scope for the right person to grow with the business at their own pace and operate outside the confines of a traditionally structured law firm team.
Milberg London was established in 2020 as an independent law firm focused exclusively on claimant litigation. Our partners have all previously worked at Jones Day, Freshfields, Pinsent Masons, Dechert, Clyde & Co, Paul Hastings and Mishcon de Reya over the last 15 years before establishing their own firm. We specialise in large-scale consumer group actions against corporate defendants. We are looking to expand our Competition Litigation practice and are seeking to recruit an exceptionally bright competition associate to join our London team and work with partner and head of the practice, Natasha Pearman.
The Competition Litigation practice is focusing on collective actions regarding abuse of dominance, cartel damages, and other antitrust litigation in the UK courts and Competition Appeal Tribunal and coordinating competition litigation on a worldwide basis. In November 2023, our case against Sony was the first consumer claim of its kind to achieve certification for its funding arrangements in light of the recent Supreme Court ruling in the PACCAR case.
The ideal candidate will:
- Have between 2 to 4 PQE in competition litigation
- Be comfortable working as part of a small team
- Have experience in UK and EU competition law
- Strong academic history (at least 2:1 or equivalent from a reputable university)
- Have excellent communication and drafting skills
