Job Details

Introduction

Many of the firm’s partners are award-winning legal 500 and Chambers & Partners ranked.

We are keen to speak to senior partners who wish to enjoy the freedom of working collaboratively amongst fellow experienced peers within a high quality brand with the appetite and ambition to change the way that legal services are delivered to their clients.

As part of our defined growth strategy, we are particularly keen to speak with senior partners who would enjoy working in a way that provides them freedom, flexibility and ultimately, enable them to build stronger relationships with their clients.

Our model is centered around being regarded by clients as trusted advisors; lawyers who work collaboratively with their clients and advise with the authority of experience. The freedom to choose how best to service clients and when, where and how much you want to work.  This is the reason that we place such emphasis on recruiting lawyers of the highest calibre who benefit from the support of our brand and each other, whilst relishing in the freedom and autonomy to gain control of their own lives.

Culture

Regular Partner lunches and socials are held to encourage internal networking and develop friendships and relationships firm wide. We are challenging, improving and evolving the way that legal services are delivered, and we doing it by building an environment for lawyers to both deliver great service to clients, and achieve personal happiness.

The candidate

Key technical attributes:
