Current Employee Current Employee Mr. San Francisco

Advice to law firm management:
Beefing up the total compensation offered to associates is probably the thing that needs the most attention, especially the annual salary. There needs to be more transparency in regards to how bonuses are calculated, as well.

Pros:
The associates and support staff are generally very nice and easy to get along with. The office environment is also pretty good, and the firm keeps pace with technological advancement.

Cons:
Both the salary and the benefits could really use some work. The bonus structure is also rather weak and the health insurance is expensive.

Diversity Write a review

We aim to be a natural choice for talent; a true meritocracy where everyone is able to reach their full potential within a culture that embraces diversity and promotes equality, inclusion and mutual respect.

The overall objectives of the diversity programme are as follows:

To attract high calibre, high potential people, bearing in mind that "talent" is not limited to one type of person or group of people, and comes in all shapes and forms.

To be a firm where high performing, diverse people are able to fulfil their potential thanks to our career planning and development opportunities.

To be a firm that is known for our flexibility, inclusivity and innovation when it comes to diversity and equality practices.

Our diversity programme is led by our Senior Partner, Monica Burch. Monica is supported by a dedicated Diversity Manager and a wide group of partners, fee earner, managers and business services staff from all areas of the firm.
