About this company
Founded in 2009 the firm is an LLP with two designated members. The firm specialises in Criminal Law and Courts Martial and accepts publicly, privately and insurance funded work. The firm also works for a teaching union. The firm prides itself upon the quality not quantity of its team. The firm enjoys a good local and regional reputation but requires extra human resources to cope with the increased demand for its services and desire to grow. The firm has, out of necessity, the facility to allow remote working due to its fee earners working away from the office and in the case of Courts Martial work, sometimes abroad. Working from the office however is mandatory as it helps build the unity and team chemistry that is the firm's strength.
After this apprenticeship
Please note we are committed to taking on applicants with a view to them becoming employed as Assistant Solicitors upon qualification. A decision on this is usually made no later than eighteen months after the commencement of employment. Upon qualification, there will be the opportunity to work abroad.
