Get where you want to go at a unique law firm

WALKER MORRIS

If you are looking for something different in a law firm Walker Morris may be for you. Why are we different? Well, for example, we have refused to follow our competitors into opening offices in different sites and we propose to keep this strategy in the foreseeable future. It has worked for us. We are extremely stable, profitable and successful. We have a simple hierarchy, less bureaucracy, better teamwork and easy communication.

NATIONAL

We have a national reputation for strong multi-disciplinary team work and for giving our clients straight forward advice. When we need to pull a team together on a large deal, we can do so quickly and easily because we are all to hand. When a member of the team needs to talk to someone about a job, a client, their career, or anything else, the partners and associates are nearby. We have an open door policy and they have direct access on a daily basis to those people who are going to be making decisions about their careers.

SUCCESS

We strongly believe that one of the secrets of our success is our continued commitment to a true partnership structure. Despite the size of the firm we continue to believe in the importance of the partners being very much 'hands on'. There are no glass ceilings or closed doors to partnership. We operate a meritocracy and if you meet the grade, you will be rewarded. After three years pqe you can apply for associateship, and after five years you can apply for partnership.

QUALITY

We are a very ambitious firm. Our national and international client base is strong and growing. Our clients rival many in the square mile, in fact 71% of our clients are from outside the region. But we are committed to building a firm that stands out even further from the crowd. Our people are fantastic and will help us to shape the future. We are always looking for the very best people to help us achieve our goals and share in the rewards that will follow.

PEOPLE

We recruit people who are talented who like a challenge and the freedom to develop into the kinds of commercial lawyers they aspire to be. We work hard but still have a life outside the office. We work hard but are rewarded for it. We work hard but we enjoy it. We work hard because we are given the space and responsibility to develop, not because we are subjected to overbearing billable hours targets and a big stick mentality. We work hard because we want to succeed and build our reputations, both individually and firm wide.
