Thank you for bringing your thoughts to our attention - employee feedback is very important to us and we take all of your comments seriously.
While we do not know the specific details of your individual situation, please be assured that we benchmark our salary offerings annually against the market to ensure we provide fair and competitive pay for all members of the firm, alongside an extensive benefits package which includes enhanced pension contributions, additional leave and enhanced maternity/paternity pay, amongst other varied benefits.
Our trainees undergo an industry-leading development programme, which we believe gives them the very best start to their legal career, and we are proud to say that we have a trainee retention rate of 95% (versus a national average of 79% for 2017). As a recent survey of trainee and newly-qualified (NQ) solicitor salaries shows, we also compare particularly favourably to the rest of the market for NQ salaries (https://www.thelawyer.com/trainee-newly-qualified-salaries-uk-law-firms/).
We are sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. Once again, thank you for bringing your thoughts to our attention and please be assured that we use all employee feedback to discuss how we can continually improve the working environment for our team.
We wish you the very best of luck for the future.
