Not sure what it wants to be

Pros

Nice enough office and view.

Cons

Each department acts like a separate entity with business support staff caught in the middle trying to facilitate. The firm tries to maintain the Legal Aid whilst pushing for private; again the departments vary and clash on this. Workload is high, pay is low and you'll be criticised if you stay late to keep up.

A great firm that woefully underpays

Solicitor

Pros

Bindmans is a lovely place to work, it is flexible, the work is good and the people are nice. The atmosphere is relaxed and people are approachable.

Cons

Those who have a legal aid case load and those with a private case have the same target. So one is able to make big bonuses and get promotions and the others do not. Usually the person doing legal aid works 3 times a hard. The pay is bad. It is not comparable with other firm's. There is a payfreeze from 4-8 years, for an unknown reason. A lot of people leave during this period, including myself. they will never maintain staff if they do not increase the pay so it is fair
