Supervision has been fantastic and feedback from experienced member of the departments ample and helpful.” “Farrers is unique in that as trainees we really do work with everyone, from newly qualified solicitors all the way Offices: London
up to senior partners. The work we are given is varied and never have I felt like anything other than an intrinsic member of my team. I have client contact on a regular basis, draft documents that are actually used and not set aside, and I feel I am receiving fantastic training.” “Every matter is partner led, which means you are constantly working with partners who are absolute experts in their field (unlike other firms where exposure to partners can be unusual). I like that the qualification process does not include further applications – it is conducted by way of internal discussions/ negotiations.” “Having only done one seat I am still continually impressed by how friendly and welcoming everyone I have come into contact with has been. The work I have been given has been well explained and where I have needed clarification or further assistance, this has always been readily given.” “Great work, great people, great clients, great exposure.”
socialises together all the time; there’s no competition, everyone has your back.” Certainly a promising basis – not only for proactive, experienced lawyers, but also for a group of partners who trust one another and can rely on one another. Looking to the past, looking to the future: truly the Farrers’ way.
