This highly reputed Legal 500 full service firm is weathering the downturn better than most. In particular its employment department has gone from strength to strength and the flow of work demands the appointment of a further team member to undertake a mixed caseload of both contentious and non contentious work. The successful candidate will also be given an active role in business development initiatives with the benefit of a generous budget in this regard. The firm has always been keen to ensure that all its staff have the opportunity to meet their career objectives which, combined with the high quality of work, generous remuneration, collegiate atmosphere and genuine emphasis placed on the need for a work life balance would explain their excellent retention rate.
