Working at Wilsons

Why work at Wilsons? Because we are a unique legal practice, offering a wide range of the highest quality work. We believe in career development and will help you achieve your potential. We also have an open approach to management, which ensures we are a vibrant and exciting firm to work for.

As one of the leading private client firms outside the City, we have a high calibre client base from the UK and overseas. We have an exceptional reputation across our range of services, including niche areas like tax, charities, agriculture, landed estates and education. These niche areas are supported by our growing commercial and private client teams. The intellectual challenge provided by our clients ensure that our people are able to continue developing their potential. We are also based in the beautiful cathedral city of Salisbury in the South West, but work takes us regularly in London, ensuring that we can offer the vibrancy of working in the city with a quite exceptional quality of life.

People are our priority

The reputation of a law firm is linked directly to the quality of its people so perhaps it's not surprising that we place such an emphasis on our team. We are an accredited Investors in People firm. Our open approach to management means that almost all information (other than personal equity) is available across the firm. Flat structures mean plenty of potential for positions of responsibility - and we have partners, non-partners and part-time solicitors heading up departments.

Career development is of key importance; we offer training in-house and from a range of third parties covering everything from "soft skills" and IT to specific legal issues. We work on career planning with everyone throughout the firm and have been praised by IIP for our highly effective mentoring programme.
