Talbots Law aims ‘to be the law firm for everyone’.
This can be seen in the range of personal and business clients it serves across the West Midlands and the stake it offers its staff in the company – a law firm first for the region.
The ‘values led’ firm – which has around 380 staff across eight offices – sees employee ownership as a way to ‘capture and protect its independent, innovative and passionate people culture.’
This ethos is reflected in much of its work, from Legal Aid cases to ensure everyone can access quality support to charitable initiatives such as supplying free wills through Cancer Research UK and offering drop-in legal advice at women’s refuges.
Talbots Law prides itself on its people-based recruitment strategy, which, unlike many other firms, considers each candidate’s personal skills, qualities, abilities and potential – as well as their interests and aspirations – to match them to a role and department.
And thanks to personalised career progression, and the freedom to challenge, innovate and take ownership, many employees have progressed from entry-level to lawyer and senior management roles.
The firm has recently launched a six-week training programme helping people with no experience in residential property into conveyancing careers – another first for the region.
I am happy with the balance between my work and home life
Staff can speak confidentially to an external expert about their experiences at work to reflect and get help overcoming any challenges. Employees’ financial wellbeing is supported through access to interest-free hardship loans. And all staff get access to retail discounts through an online platform.
My team is fun to work with
Employees from across the business are encouraged to network at the off-site update meetings, and there are twice-yearly team socials which everyone gets £25 towards. There’s also an annual ‘thank you’ party and family BBQ. And as the firm sponsors Birmingham Bears, there are opportunities to get together at Warwickshire cricket ground.
I feel I receive fair pay for the responsibilities I have in my job
As the firm is employee-owned, all staff are entitled to an equal profit share bonus each year. Employees also get gift vouchers on milestone birthdays, weddings and for babies. At Christmas, staff can choose a voucher or donate to a food bank. And there are plenty of sweet treats and free breakfasts at quarter end.
