Salaries & Benefits
Our lawyers are amongst the highest paid outside London and the firm's fundamental approach remains that there should be no salary differentials between its departments. However, we fully recognise that individuals will develop at different speeds and at the point a lawyer becomes three years qualified, salaries are banded so lawyers of similar qualification may be paid differently according to their individual abilities.
As well as a highly competitive salary, we also offer a range of benefits which include:
- A firm wide bonus scheme with an annual bonus payment linked to salary and the performance of the firm;
- Membership of a Group Personal Pension Plan with a matching contribution from the Firm of up to 5% of salary;
- Basic annual holiday entitlement of 25 days - an additional day is awarded after three, six and ten years' service with the firm;
- Private Medical Insurance;
- Life Assurance (multiple of four times salary);
- Permanent Health Insurance;
- Independent and free medical assessment with BUPA every 2 years;
- Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption pay;
- Professional subscriptions paid;
- Interest free season ticket loan;
- Generous relocation allowance;
- An active sports and social club which includes a number of benefits including subsidised events throughout the year and discounted local gym memberships; and
- Free car parking for associates (lawyers with in excess of five years' pqe on joining) or, a generous cash alternative.
