Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] home based in the EMEA region, which includes Africa (Canonical lists it as 'Home Based - Americas; Home based - EMEA; Office Based - London, UK'); the posting names no countries and says nothing about work authorisation or payment routes
[ ] a degree in law, JD or equivalent
[ ] an active licence to practise law, or current progress towards one
[ ] travel twice a year for company events of up to two weeks

2. WHAT TO GET READY
An online form; it names no documents. Some forms do not save as you go, so set aside time to do it in one sitting.
In their words: "An online application"

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
