Pros

I've worked at Fieldfisher Belfast for 2 years. It's a really great firm with a strong corporate culture and great leadership team. The work environment is fast paced and can be intense but ultimately is very rewarding. The manager is great and does everything to help employees develop professionally. People are treated fairly and tasks allocated/ schedules set with people's capacity and development goals in mind. Good work is acknowledged. There is a high level of motivation and I have always felt valued and supported. The staff in Belfast are so friendly and helpful and the senior lawyers really take time to interact with the teams prioritising the development of junior colleagues and sharing experiences which helps you feel more empowered to deal with your own challenges. During these difficult times management in Belfast, and indeed the wider firm has put our wellbeing and safety front and centre.

Cons

Being away from my friends and colleagues during these challenging times.

Pros

Lovely early careers team, meaningful substantive work, fairly accommodating, good secondment opportunities, lots of social events, some flexibility, good career progression. Good benefits. Lots of pro bono work.

Cons

Some lack of communication between certain teams, trainees aren’t eligible for a bonus, not quite as flexible as some other firms. Some senior management decisions not very ‘People First’ - one of their supposed key values. Rigid charity work and volunteering structure.
