Careers at Willans

CAREERS AT WILLANS

Be part of an inclusive firm with an outstanding reputation

Our firm has a solid reputation for providing first-class legal advice and exceptional client care to local, national and international clients. But we know that we’re only as good as our people.

That’s why we continually make the effort to foster a supportive working environment for all our support staff, secretaries, lawyers and partners – one in which talent and hard work is recognised and valued.

When you work for Willans, you become part of a firm that has a rich history. Our offices have been in Regency Cheltenham for more than 70 years, with the firm evolving through a series of mergers to become the size it is today.

We may be a friendly firm with a ‘family’ feel, but we pack a punch in terms of our performance in legal guides (such as Chambers and The Legal 500), the value of transactions we handle, and the household names we attract as clients.

A supportive place to work

We know that law can be a demanding industry, whether you’re a lawyer or are working behind the scenes. We believe that people do their best work when they’re supported, listened to and given the resources they need to get their job done effectively.

A prestigious place to work

An enjoyable place to work

We encourage a good work/life balance, as well as building a vibrant community within the firm. When you work with us, you’ll become part of an inclusive, friendly team.

A caring place to work

We take an enthusiastic approach to CSR and have fun in the process. Our staff collectively nominate a ‘charity of the year’ every year, and we raise funds for them through a calendar of challenging and enjoyable activities, in which everyone is welcome to take part.
