This is a very exciting and unique opportunity for a Commercial Litigation Senior Associate Solicitor, who wants to work for a firm who do things differently! This could be a great opportunity for someone who is currently working at Senior Associate level and would like to step up into a salaried Partner role.
This firm are really going to shake things up in the local market... not only do they boast what are possibly the coolest offices of any law firm in Exeter, but they have a genuine commitment to building a culture where their teams are happy, relaxed and they enjoy coming to work. They believe that a happy team will ensure that their clients get the very best levels of service. With high-quality work available, the work will be interesting and involved, with most of their new business coming through regular referrals, due to the quality and speed of service. The leadership team feel that they can offer so much more than the average law firm, in terms of working culture and enjoyment. They want all of their people to be involved in the decision-making and the direction that the firm takes, with an "open forum" culture and a business that is led by the employees. They have plans to expand rapidly, while keeping that culture of valuing their people. They want their lawyers to be supported with a team of people that carry out their admin and billing for them, so that you can focus on what you do best. They want to create a culture where people can enjoy a game of pool at lunchtimes in their break-out room, or enjoy a drink in their office bar, after work on a Friday. They want people to be able to sit in their outside coffee area and take a break when needed, or even have a go at beating their colleagues on their gaming consoles! They have electric car-charging points, as well as Tesla pool cars, for their staff to use! With the highest-end IT equipment and state-of-the-art systems, this has the set-up and the makings of something very unique and special in Exeter!
