With an excellent solicitor-to-partner ratio, you'll gain earlier client access, more mentoring, and stronger progression pathways. Career forecasting sessions every 180 days help fast-track your goals.

Other benefits include: 

  • Structured bonus system on meeting targets
  • Competitive salary packages aligned to experience
  • Firm-wide WFH policy: 2 days from home
  • 26 weeks paid parental leave for all staff after 6 months' service
  • Sports clubs, social committees, and monthly firm wide drinks

  • Supportive partners and a people-first approach.
