Why Weightmans?

Read transcript

My name is Helen Taylor. I'm the HR Director for Weightmans, and I joined Weightmans three years ago as a member of the board, and I have responsibility for the HR and the leadership and learning teams. I think one of the differentiators for Weightmans is it tries to get the balance between being a large firm and the benefits that a large firm comes, but also the benefits of smaller firms with a friendly culture, a really inclusive environment and the opportunity, I think, for people to really grow and develop their careers. You're joining a well-established national law firm, which provides great opportunities, I think, for its people and a diversity of work. So it's a really good opportunity to think about this as the next stage of your career and to work with people and for clients that will help you take your career to the next stage. When you join as a new starter, or whether you're promoted in Weightmans, we put a comprehensive development plan in place for you for the first year, both in terms of your personal development, but support around reviews, helping you to settle in, but also includes opportunity to participate in our bonus schemes, pension provision, as well as some of the more broader benefits in relation to wellbeing, laptops, technology support and the opportunity. A great holiday package as well and a work-lifestyle balance. So if you're interested in joining us or even if you're at the very informal stage of thinking about the next stage of your career, I'd really encourage you to either contact our recruitment team or to contact a partner or another member of staff who you may already know who can give you the right introductions into the firm as well.

In our latest staff survey, our people continue to describe us as having a friendly, open and supportive culture and work environment. Having such a dedicated and motivated workforce translates into the quality of the service we provide to clients, and not surprisingly we have received numerous industry and cultural awards.

We are passionate about diversity and inclusion and we believe the principles of our core values are underpinned by the desire to make diversity and inclusion part of the lifeblood of the firm.

We embrace flexible working and work-life balance, and even prior to the pandemic, the majority of our staff were routinely working flexibly, splitting their time between the office and home.
