The firm comprises a number of very experienced and well known lawyers who commenced their careers at national and international law firms in Birmingham city centre before deciding that they preferred a less politicised and more meritocratic practice without having to compromise on the quality of work so if you have the same sentiments this could be an ideal role for you.
A very competitive salary is naturally on offer given the firms' reputation in the market and the benefits package includes free on-site parking, 25 days' holiday (which increases year on year), private medical insurance, subsidised gym membership and a host of corporate benefits.
