What Is Life Like Here?

​

We are a friendly, down-to-earth team.

We use cutting-edge systems, software and technology to make our work more efficient, streamlined and paperless. This allows you to focus on the client's legal case rather than red-tape. 

We expect you to work innovatively and flexibly. Even before the pandemic, we have not had an expectation for solicitors to be at the office all day, every day. Our systems allow you to seamlessly work from anywhere - most of our solicitors, trainees and paralegals now have a hybrid practice with a few days in the office and a few days working from home once they have settled in their roles and are trained on our systems.

We operate a relaxed workplace and are based in modern, newly refurbished premises with various perks including snacks, drinks and dedicated breakout areas to make your day that bit easier and less stressful.

We have no dress code and simply expect appropriateness with our dress for your day policy. Seeing a client or going to court? Look professional. Spending the day dealing with documents and paperwork? Be comfortable.

We have no time-recording targets but expect you to work hard and meet your client's expectations and your billing targets - for which you are rewarded with a tiered and uncapped bonus scheme.

​

Alongside all of this, we will develop, train and support you in the area of family law that you wish to specialise and grow in.
