Thrings Reviews

Thrings has troubles, and solicitors are now leaving in their droves. Its not surprising, the firm has been in difficulty for several years, and signalled this to employees by laying off a high number of employees at the start of the pandemic, not even keeping them on furlough. There have also been several instances of cashflow issues. The management team are incapable of making or seeing good business decisions, with the head of HR being puppet master for the managing partner. While other law firms thrived during the pandemic Thrings chose to get rid of hard working employees, mostly support staff, whilst keeping under performing senior solicitors. Fast forward 24mths on and the firm is now scrabbling round re-recriuting the roles they let go. They also slipped out of the top 100 law firm list. The managing partner has been in place for so long, as no one wants to take on the problems, but its high time there was a change of leadership and direction.

The firm has traditionally been an agricultural firm the south west... An experience of racism, discrimination, elitism and bullying. Toxic. Particularly within the department I worked in, there is a huge sense of hierarchy with those in more senior roles. Everyone competes with each other and always finds a way to bring someone else down so they can look 'better.' I have seen the staff treated poorly by office leaders who are subpar at best and have a sense of entitlement. constant staff turnover as they fire staff using PIP to fabricate the real reasons which imo is due to internal racism and disliking staff that don’t blend in with them even if they are doing their job properly. Toxic culture and lots of office drama. I would avoid this place especially if you are a person of colour. Oh, and the pay is below market rates for the hours worked.
