Vacancies

As a firm we pride ourselves on providing a modern working environment for all our staff. We operate fully integrated technology including an Office Management System. We aim to treat all our staff in an informal but fair way and have been rewarded with their loyalty, many of our staff having gone through their training with us and stayed on when qualified.

We therefore offer competitive salaries, excellent working conditions and a group personal pension scheme. We will use this portion of the website to notify any current vacancies, but are always interested in hearing from like minded people who feel they have something they could add to our team.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY SOLICITOR AND

GENERAL LITIGATION SOLICITOR (2 posts)

Do you want the chance to make your mark?  To work with a forward-thinking practice, with the opportunity to become a partner in the next few years? And to enjoy a great lifestyle in fashionable Cheltenham in the heart of the Cotswolds?

If you're stuck in a career rut, with the potential but not the opportunity to be a partner in a firm where you will make a difference, you may be our ideal candidate.

We have a strong reputation for quality legal work, and are looking for candidates with around 5 years experience and ideally some client following.  Our commerical property solicitor will be experienced in all aspects of commercial work and should be able to offer some general corporate experience, while our general litigation solicitor will have a solid background in personal injury, commercial and general civil litigation.

Benefits and salary negotiable, dependent on experience. 

Please e-mail your cv together with your salary expectations to
