Commitment is the special quality that we look for in people at Burnetts.
Helen Hayward, Partner
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, Trainee Solicitor
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.
Natalie Gray, Legal Assistant
The firm is proactive and progressive which creates a fantastic working environment.
Megan Richardson, Senior Associate
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.
Sally Johnson, Practising Consultant
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, Associate Solicitor
