People
Committed to equality of opportunity and diversity in the workplace, we strive to make Brodies a place where excellence and personal development flourish.
With comprehensive induction and training programmes, our people can fine tune particular skills, whether technical or management, as well as keep their knowledge and understanding of key legal issues right up to date. As technology plays an increasingly important role in our lives and in the way we better deliver services to clients, we also ensure that all at Brodies are fully supported and trained by our own in-house IT team. And a well-established secondment programme allows our lawyers to gain invaluable experience in-house in some of the leading private companies and public sector organisations - while also investing our own skills and know-how in the wider community.
Our set of core values - supplemented by a full competency framework - have been established to provide a clear benchmark and framework by which all lawyers are appraised. Transparency is central to this process and to our development as a business. Traditionally law firms have been perceived as lacking in this quality. Yet our management is fully committed to open channels of communication - our regular briefings and discussion groups foster an inclusive and interactive culture at Brodies.
Health and wellbeing are as vital at work as in every other part of our lives. Brodies encourages a healthy work-life balance through flexible working options, and encourages initiatives - such as our mentoring scheme, or personal Work Station Assessments for every member of staff - that raise awareness of individual health, successful teamwork, and mutual support.
