Fantastic Company that really puts people first - Talent Management Harper James Employee Review

I've been working at Harper James Solicitors for a year, and overall, it’s been a very positive experience. One of the standout aspects of working here is the people. The team is not only talented and experienced but also incredibly supportive. There’s a genuine sense of collaboration across all levels, and it’s easy to feel like part of the team, even when working remotely. The firm's unique service offering is another highlight. Harper James has really innovated in the way it delivers legal services, which keeps the work interesting and gives you exposure to different types of clients and industries. This variety allows you to expand your skills and knowledge in ways that are hard to find elsewhere. In terms of professional development, the hands-on training is excellent and there’s always support when needed. Senior lawyers are approachable and willing to help, which makes the learning process smoother. If you’re looking to develop your career, this is a firm that invests in your growth. The company also knows how to have fun. Company events are a regular thing and provide a great opportunity to connect with colleagues in a more relaxed setting. Incentives like performance bonuses, team outings and recognition for hard work make you feel valued and motivated.

If I had to point out a downside, Although the company does offer understanding and support where needed, the work load can be demanding. That is to be expected with most legal firms. Also, with many colleagues working remotely, although we spend time speaking via phone and video calls, we only get to see each other face to face a handful of times across the year at company events.

If you think minimum wage is a pro, work here!

Low pay, poor management and no progression.
