Why work for our Private Client Law Team?
Our fee earners know their worth, they are well trained and as such are ale to command higher fees, meaning that they are paid at better rates and carry less cases.
We obtain good quality work as we concentrate on service not price.

This may be family work, conveyancing, employment law etc.We are Lexcel accredited and take this very seriously. We are considered by Lexcel to be a well managed firm.

Join our amazing team, here is what they have to say...
Although I am relatively new to the firm, I have been welcomed with open arms in such a friendly environment. It has been a case of hitting the ground running in such a busy department, but as a team it is apparent everybody thrives on that and I feel entirely supported. There truly is a no blame culture here, mistakes happen and it has been made clear to me from management since joining to always be open and honest. I know help is always available and I feel especially supported by my team leader. The team are full of knowledge and always willing to help each other out in times of need, especially across departments which often interlink.
I feel privileged to work for a firm to which the directors are always pushing for a work/life balance. Since day one, it has been made clear that working all hours we are given is not a healthy balance. It's important for me to have this balance and I'm lucky to work for a firm that shares this view. I have undergone CQS training which the firm have put me through despite being so new, and am in regular discussions about how to progress and build up my workload. Working for Emmersons is a pleasure and I look forward to my future here!
The firm/team has a great vibe. Everyone gets on with everyone. Great team culture. Everyone is approachable all the way to the top. Feel like I've been here ages!
The conveyancing team and the wider community of Emmersons Solicitors provide a warm and supportive environment for professional growth. The strong work ethic demonstrated by all members of the team is a great source of motivation. My time at Emmersons has already provided me with a vast array of knowledge learned though one to one mentoring and practical experience. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for the team.
