What’s your career journey been like?

I joined WorkNest in April 2022 as a Paralegal, with the aim of gaining experience in a law firm and the long-term goal of formally qualifying as a Solicitor via the CILEx route. To date, I’ve worked across both the Litigation and Contracts & Handbooks department, and I’m roughly halfway through my CILEx log book.

Why do you love coming to work?

I pride myself on being able to give clients an amazing experience with an area of law that they might not be particularly passionate about. I enjoy going above and beyond to ensure that each and every one of our clients gets the best experience and receives advice across as many areas as we can provide, by working with WorkNest’s sister companies to provie an all-round service where possible. I also love my team – the support given to trainees is second to none, and I’ve been able to get stuck into a huge variety of tasks across the board, from drafting complex legal documents to building that one-to-one rapport with a client.

What’s the culture like?

I personally love that WorkNest has embraced the hybrid working culture and sees this as the way forward for the company. It means that the company is open to a wider range of talent, as anyone across the UK could work for WorkNest and bring their own expertise without having to relocate! There’s an incredible open door policy – you can approach anyone across any department with suggestions or queries, and you will be listened to and your feedback taken on board. This is supported by the recent introduction of the listening groups and shows that WorkNest is truly keeping employees at the heart of what they do.
