A place where you can progress
As a leading law firm, we handle a wide variety of interesting work that’s often high value and complex, giving you a prime opportunity to develop your career. We focus on providing exceptional service for clients and have a supportive, collaborative culture to ensure each member of staff plays a crucial part in this. We’ve been named the commercial property team and dispute resolution team of the year (Yorkshire Legal Awards 2020). Everyone is valued highly here.
Support for your success
We want you to excel so you can achieve your career ambitions and we can provide the very best service possible. Whatever your role, we encourage you to develop your skills and offer suitable training to help you fulfil your potential. If you’re a lawyer, we believe that as well as providing commercial advice, you should have the space to develop your commercial skills too.
Commercial mindset, diverse and inclusive environment
Your wellbeing is important to us, and we offer a range of initiatives to protect it. This includes massages, physiotherapy, free fruit and a cycle-to-work scheme. We also provide a healthcare cash plan and a pension, and our social committee regularly brings people together. While our CSR committee leads us in supporting our communities and our diversity, inclusivity and engagement committees ensure we consider everyone equally.
The pandemic has been a challenging time for everyone, so we made sure our staff were looked after throughout. You can find out how we dealt with working from home, keeping everyone up to date and engaged and how we managed to have quite a bit of fun along the way:
