Pros

Training and personal development opportunities are second to none. Promotion and progression genuinely achievable. Supportive and encouraging senior management. Clearly identifiable and achievable targets. Friendly and helpful staff across all departments. Large modern office with use of a gym.

Cons

Pay transparency/equity above NQ level would be welcome as would salary increases in line with promotions for existing staff.

Thank you so much for the 5*review. We are pleased to hear you are enjoying working with the business. We always welcome Feedback and you are more than welcome to come and speak with HR about your ideas on how to improve the business. We believe the 3/2 hybrid module allows for the best blend of hybrid working for colleagues, as it means you have an equal amount of time in the office and at home to manage cases and workloads. Regarding Pay and Bonuses, we offer regular salary reviews and for those always hitting targets, this is the time to demonstrate why you deserve a pay increase. Regarding Bonus, the scheme is designed to focus on case outcomes rather than focus on concluding cases, but we appreciate the idea.

Pros

Express Solicitors offers a supportive environment for staff and highly encourages development and progression through in house Professional Support and External training. Plenty of opportunity to increase skill base and customer service skills. My own personal experiences with Management across all levels have been nothing but positive. Everyone is very approachable and happy to offer guidance. The team are friendly and supportive of one another. Additional benefits include active social calendar both within Departments and companywide, Equality Diversity and Inclusion Committee, Peer Mentoring Scheme, gym on site, close to local public transport links.

Cons

Parking is a bit of an issue, but as is the case across plenty of large businesses. There is parking local to the building a short walk away.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review. We are pleased to hear you enjoy working with the business. Parking for any business is a struggle, but we agree with you that there are many alternative options available other than our busy car park that are very close and convenient for our colleagues to use.

Thank you very much for your 4* review and for your considered feedback. We are so pleased to hear this. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed the variety of cases you were exposed to during the training. In regard to Training Contracts, they are integrated into an individual's progression, so it relates to the individual being able to complete the objective criteria that are set out in the fee earner handbook.”

Thank you for your review and the 4* rating. We are very proud of the progression offered at Express Solicitors. With over 80 Trainees, this proves that development from within works with a thriving Top 100 Law Firm. We appreciate that our hours are slightly longer than a traditional 9-5 schedule (8:30 am – 5:30 pm, Monday through Thursday and 5 pm on Fridays), but this is to help our clients contact us. We are Lawyers helping injured people. We have over 100 parking spaces on site for our colleagues, and there is also the bus stop outside the office. No employer can offer all its staff parking unfortunately and we are no different. We have also salary sacrifice EV and Bikes and dedicated spots for those in keeping with our green travel policy. Our salaries are reviewed annually and have increased every year in line with our growth. As you grow in your career, your salary increases. This is linked to targets, which are set on the cases and great work sources from direct to market advertising. All the ingredients are there for a successful career.

Thanks very much for your review, We are really proud of the level of training we provided our junior lawyers, from our award winning Graduate Scheme (Princess Royal Training Award) to our in-house Express Certificate for Trainees. We want our future solicitors to be the best that they can be, to allow them to deliver the quality of service we promise our clients. We carefully set working hours for our client’s convenience and generally speaking those hours are 8.30am to 5.30pm with an hour for lunch – many staff using the roof garden, gym, or town hall area for a proper break. Work life balance is important and we want to make sure that our staff as well as our clients are properly looked after – a professional career is about building skills and experience and we are very proud of our work helping injured clients with legal expertise.

Pros

Friendly atmosphere. Training was second to none. Great progression opportunities. The only reason I left was because it wasn’t the area I wanted to be in. But I would recommend

Cons

I can’t think of any cons, I think the targets etc are typical of PI firms

Pros

You won't work with a better team, no matter the Department.

Cons

Salary isn't competitive enough for the size of the Company. Though this does seem to be getting addressed.
