Job Details
My client is a well-run UK law firm with ambition. It has grown from a turnover of £4.3M in 2013 to £12M following a merger in London in 2018 creating a Top 200 law firm with improved access to London, international and regional markets. Further growth is planned. The firm is non-hierarchical, consultative and team-based, committed to serving its clients in a dedicated and responsive manner. The firm's tagline is 'Lawyers you will enjoy working with'. It is one they live up to. This resonates through both the ongoing positive reviews from the firm's clients, and its approach to creating an environment in which its people will thrive. They have achieved 'Star Status' in the Best Companies' survey regularly since 2012, which is a sure sign of high engagement levels for its people.
