Pros

Salaries, salary levels for both support staff and fee-earners is competitive in the market. Client base, the client base and cases that the fee-earners deal with is very compelling and attractive to any fee-earner in the particular fields of expertise.

Cons

The management in London. One particular member of staff was particularly difficult to deal with and unfortunately was a member of the senior leadership team. Most individuals within the London office had an issue with this individual's management style, resulting in many employees leaving the firm directly because of this person. Losing a talented workforce because of one individual does not make good business sense,

Pros

Great benefits such as a generous dental package and PMI

Cons

Everyone in the office spoke about each other. There was a lot of backstabbing and management just used to belittle other people. It is not a healthy place to work at all. I had to leave for the sake of my mental health. It’s not normal to be in an environment where others put you down and put other people down for their own gain. Avoid this place if you just want to go to work and live in place. Work here if you love chaos
