It’s our mission to build practices that are centred around what works for people.
Our practices are vibrant, young, independent – and thriving.
We believe that’s because we put our teams in the best possible position to achieve what they’re capable of, by sharing our expertise, dealing with admin and support functions, and caring about happiness.
We pride ourselves on recognising that the definition of support can be very different depending on a person’s situation, and we do everything we can to show flexibility in how we provide it.
That means that we prioritise flexible working through dedicated days off and outsourced out of hours, we offer six weeks of holiday as standard and provide enhanced sick pay for all team members.
