Forensic Manager: Ukrainian speaking

Working on cases from all over the world, and occasionally using your language skills within them.

Your new company
Undoubtedly a challenger firm in the Forensic market, our client is a global leader in Expert services, engaged to give independent advice and expert witness/testimony to corporates, the public sector, law firms, financial services and government agencies, Already a world leader in damages, quantum, delay and engineering, the firm are continuing to build out their Forensic offering globally, having made strategic hires to lead this business, and are now looking to add to the London-based European team.
The firm has a competitively strong matrix of skills specialisms and deep, sector-specific industry expertise. It also has a fully integrated, top-down investment in ED&I and we can speak from experience seeing its CSR policies in action too, even at new-joiner stage. A firm for the whole person, not just the professional.

Your new role
Work on complex and challenging valuation and damages assessment engagements from all around the world. This is the ideal opportunity to be part of a growth, challenger presence in the global Forensic market, with a reputation already underpinned by a long-established reputation in quantum. Projects are of the size that would typically compete with the Big 4 and other major firms. In a growing team you have more direct access to Partner mentors. You'll manage (whole cases or workstreams on larger cases) a really diverse range of work, including:

Valuations & Contentious Valuations

Economic Damages

Loss of Profits

Business Interruption

Transaction and shareholder disputes

Government/treaty disputes

Fraud Investigations

and much more.
Additionally you'd be:

Drafting sections of expert reports; occasionally drafting whole on smaller cases

Managing some interactions with clients.

Participating in BD activities eg attending networking events.

Training and developing colleagues (the team has a good "bedrock" of qualified AM's, who joined the firm to convert to Forensics and typically now have 1.5 - 2.5 years' experience)

While your Ukrainian language skills will be utilised in current and potentially some future cases, the team are keen to emphasise that it won't dominate your role, and you'll work on cases generated from all over the world.

What you'll need to succeed

Ideally your degree will be in a quantitative subject like accounting, finance, economics, or business/management.

Strong academic background

Qualified Accountant with a minimum of 2-3 years experience in Forensic Disputes/Litigation or Contentious Valuations

A strategic thinker, comfortable working through ambiguity.

Exceptional written and oral communication skills.

Ukrainian as a 1st or 2nd language (combined with full fluency in English). This firm does a lot of cross-border work.

If Russian is spoken additionally, that would be an advantage.

A "people person" who genuinely enjoys team culture

What you'll get in return

• Internationally collaborative culture and growth strategy
• Single forensic global P&L = working closely with colleagues around the world.
• A leadership which prioritises strong mentoring and support for career development (my placements into this firm can testify to this.)
• Meritocratic promotion
