One of the factors contributing to Birketts' own prosperity has been our ability to recruit high quality lawyers, many previously working for major national and international firms.
With offices based in Norwich and Ipswich, we are large enough to provide specialist skills in most areas of the law, but small enough to maintain the highly personal service which our clients have come to expect and enjoy. This is borne out in this year's Legal 500 independent client guide which stated "Clients rate [Birketts] as among the best in the region adding that quality is second to none and praising value for money."
Our talented and energetic employment team, described in the same guide as "superb", currently comprises six lawyers, two trainee solicitors and a number of support staff serving some of the region's most important businesses. It assists the recruitment process by guiding clients through the challenges of recent employment legislation including discrimination and equal opportunity issues.
As well as the technical and professional knowledge and expertise it has built up across a wide range of industry sectors, it also offers a number of additional resources and services including regular bespoke in-house training sessions, public seminars and masterclasses and free legal updates through its monthly e-briefings and HR Matters! magazine.
