The Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and enthusiastic eDiscovery Analyst / Senior Analyst to join Ashurst Advance, our NewLaw division combining market-leading technology, refined processes and subject matter expertise to deliver technology-enabled legal and eDiscovery services. Working alongside Ashurst's legal experts, Ashurst Advance helps solve clients' business challenges through efficient, cost-effective and digitally innovative legal service delivery.

You will work as part of a team providing cutting-edge eDiscovery services to our clients and internal practice groups, with exposure to litigation, regulatory responses, investigations, and transactional work.

We are interested in hearing from people who have:

• Demonstrated exposure to, or a genuine interest in developing, eDiscovery skills; prior experience advising using the front-end of RelativityOne is advantageous but not essential.
• Ability to troubleshoot - or the enthusiasm to learn how to troubleshoot - technical and non-technical issues that arise during a project and to assist in implementing straightforward, repeatable solutions.
• Sound understanding of, or strong motivation to rapidly acquire knowledge of, the legal framework of eDiscovery, including exchange protocols and best practices across the full EDRM model.
• Familiarity with, or readiness to be trained in, advanced eDiscovery technologies such as Active Learning, concept clustering, and search-term analysis.
• Capacity to oversee and support multiple eDiscovery matters - or the willingness to build this capability - while effectively managing priorities and identifying efficient workflows.
• Proven ability, or demonstrated potential, to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, solutions-focused environment with strict deadlines.
• Excellent communication skills with an emphasis on conveying technical concepts to non-technical audiences clearly and concisely.
• Acute attention to detail and a dedication to incorporating quality-assurance practices into all facets of work, or a clear intention to develop these attributes.
