“Even as a junior, solicitors are given freedom to manage their own workloads and shape a varied client base”
"When looking for a role as a newly qualified solicitor, I wanted to find a firm which was known to be best in class but which also encouraged a healthy work-life balance where individual staff members were valued for their individuality and ability to work in a collegiate style. The management style and culture at Sackers enables exactly that and I feel lucky to be part of the firm."
"Even as a junior, solicitors are given freedom to manage their own workloads and shape a varied client base. The training available is second to none, with specific sessions for juniors as well as weekly firm-wide knowledge-sharing seminars. Very quickly on joining the firm, I got the feeling that people enjoy working with each other at Sackers. The firm also encourages investment time in CSR events and the social events on offer are well attended and great fun."
