Commitment is the special quality that we look for in people at Burnetts.
Helen Hayward, Partner
My colleagues are friendly and supportive and it is never a problem to ask a question if another opinion is required.
Megan Richardson, Associate Solicitor
Burnetts has demonstrated commitment to me: I started on work experience, then got a job as a paralegal and I’ve just been offered a training contract.
Stacy Williams, Paralegal
Our team applies the expert value as we have quarterly training days. It used to always be for the solicitors but now it’s for the support staff as well, which is great for all of us.

The firm is proactive and progressive which creates a fantastic working environment.

At Burnetts there is a fantastic team ethic, everyone helps each other regardless of whether it is their job to or not.
Rosie Groves, Welcome Host
The people are definitely an asset at Burnetts, with a high calibre throughout the firm. My colleagues are inclusive and supportive and I would say that the level of professionalism and client service is as good if not better than in a city firm.

Burnetts are very committed to their staff! They give us our birthday day off and also pay above the standard pension contribution.
Abby Butterworth, Secretary
What my team does really well is sharing knowledge. If you have an issue, you can go to another member of the team and they will share their expertise and help you move forward.
Ben Crystal, Solicitor
I enjoy the atmosphere of being in a forward-looking firm that takes itself seriously and is not afraid to change and move forward.
