The Somerville Advantage
In 25 years Somerville & Co. has grown from two people to over 45, with much of that growth coming from bright, young people joining the firm within the first years of their careers.
We believe that a young lawyer's success in the legal profession is largely influenced by their first few years in a law firm. Factors such as the levels of responsibility and supervision, the range of work experience, a sense of appreciation, and whether or not the firm has a friendly atmosphere, will shape both the lawyer as a professional in his/her career.
Somerville & Co. sees these factors as important foundations of its growth and success, supplemented by the emphasis within the firm's culture of a balance between life inside and outside the firm.
Another key element of the Somerville advantage is that it is large enough to have good quality work, working environment and infrastructure, and a management approach with a focus on Best Practice, while being small enough for everyone to know each other well.
If this sounds like the type of firm you would like to work in:
Lawyers:
Email Patrick Heath pheath@somervilleco.com - with an expression of interest, and he will contact you to discuss opportunities within the firm. While our preference is for young lawyers, we are happy to hear from Senior Associate level solicitors with good experience in one of the firm's main specialties - business and tax, family law and complex personal injury claims.
Support Staff:
Many of our support staff are long term employees, some over 10 years. We can offer interesting work, and flexible working hours can be discussed. Email Patrick Heath pheath@somervilleco.com - for further information.
