Good - HRMS Analyst APJ Solicitors Employee Review

Passionate managers that care about the specialist area. Small teams within the departments mean queries can be raised quickly and resolved by team members. Progressive area of Law, which makes the job interesting. Management is extremely approachable.

Departments are a little disjointed, which affects communication. Training is poorly structured and last-minute, and often incomplete or sporadic. Complex terms are thrown around with no definitive weight as if one is expected to know, which led to a lack of conformity and cohesion with file/case management. Not a problem for experienced financial lawyers or those able to conduct extensive extracurricular reading (Fee earner role more suited for an LPC/LLM/SQE graduate, with a focus on financial and business law in order to fully commit to the role stress-free)

I have had a tough couple of years dealing with some personal illness and have been supported every step of the way through my cancer treatment all the way through to my current remission from colleagues all the way to every member of management and directors. Day to day I can sometimes find tough and always been given the support from every company member to get through the day. I’ve struggled sometimes in my own ability to understand my work and been given further training and emotional support at every point. Recently I have been given the opportunity to grow in the company and moved from a data gathering role into a litigation assistant and expand my knowledge of proceedings and general litigation case management. I enjoy being able to further my knowledge and experience every day

The con has been my own personal knowledge in litigation being new to the department but I am learning more each day and provided any training I need for it
