How we staff your matter
Every matter has a partner responsible for it and a named lawyer you can call. Where a trainee or paralegal can do part of the work well, we use them and charge their lower rate, and we tell you who is doing what in your quote.
We don’t move lawyers between teams to fill gaps, so the people you meet at the start are the people you’ll see at the end.
Join the team
We take two trainees a year and are hiring an employment lawyer now.
