Pros
High quality of work, Strong leadership with clear direction. They have regular training for junior staff and new lawyers which is great for internal career progression. The firm operates like a boutique, with all levels of staff being exposed to small and institutional clients. The firm operates within a group of companies and so never wants for work either!
Cons
There is quite a high demand for technical compliance and the workload is significant. While the work life balance is good, it is not suitable for someone who is looking for a low-pressure role. The requirement for a high level of client customer satisfaction sometimes gets in the way of actually doing the work. There is a requirement to be very commercially minded, which for some of the juniors on a team was a learning curve.
