Our paralegal roles are a great way to get your foot in the door as you will support the team in a variety of ways, including preparing legal documents, conducting relevant research, dealing directly with clients and providing legal information. You will work directly with qualified lawyers of all levels, allowing you to build your knowledge and understand the firm. Many of our Paralegals become trainees within the firm and work towards their qualifications with us.

Our Solicitors provide advice to clients, with partner supervision, on a wide range of matters and transactions. You will build upon your legal knowledge and expertise in this role from being newly qualified until progression to Associate.

The role of Associate is a significant stepping stone for Solicitors and is a reflection of your increased knowledge and expertise. Associates usually have around three year’s experience in their field and have developed their technical expertise in their chosen area of law.

Senior Associates play a greater role within the business having further expanded their technical expertise and developed their own network of contacts and clients.

Partners have a greater involvement in the management of the firm, their clients, projects and marketing and are seen as experts in their field. At this level, you will no longer be an employee of the firm and will move into a self-employed role where you will enter into our LLP agreement.

Partners usually have around three years’ experience as a Senior Associate.

Senior Partners will take a lead role on business improvement and efficiency initiatives, as well as identifying and developing talent within their teams. Senior Partners have the opportunity to make a significant contribution and make a genuine difference to the firm’s business operation.

All Senior Members will be Client Relationship Partners for some of the firm’s biggest clients, many of which will have been won directly by you or where you have taken a key role in those relationships.

As an Equity Partner, you will have developed the highest level of expertise and will also have a say in the running of the business. You will generally be expected to lead a Group or Department and have a lead role in business development with the firm’s biggest clients and prospects.

As a Planner you will be part of our unique multi-disciplinary team of planning lawyers, environmental lawyers and chartered town planners delivering one of the leading planning and environmental services in the South of England. Our planning consultancy is one of the largest teams of chartered planning consultants within a law firm anywhere in England, and in its own right one of the main planning consultancies in the region.

Our Legal Executives are lawyers who have qualified via the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives. The main difference between solicitors and legal executives is that the training of legal executives is narrower. Legal executives have studied to the same level as a solicitor, however they will have specialised in a particular area of law.  They will provide advice and guidance to clients on a range of transactions and matters.
