Fisher Jones Greenwood prides itself on being a vibrant, innovative and technologically advanced firm that embraces new ways of working to enhance the client experience.
The firm, which has offices across Essex, plus one in London and another in Suffolk, provides legal services for professional and private organisations and employs almost 200 people. It values good relationships among its staff and says it likes to recruit "cheerful, outgoing people who are ready to tackle anything".
Beyond academic qualifications and skills appropriate to each role, Fisher Jones Greenwood welcomes people with a positive attitude, who are willing to take responsibility and work as part of a team. It is an equal opportunities employer and employs people from all backgrounds, and has an equality, diversity and inclusion group.
It also says it recognises that people have varied and demanding personal lives and so is open to part-time, flexible and hybrid-working arrangements.
The firm is also keen to nurture careers and, last year, it launched its solicitor apprenticeship programme, which led to internal applications. The paralegal-to-solicitor training process helps the firm to mould the next generation of solicitors. Meanwhile, for managers, internal training sessions cover topics such as appraisal, performance management and having wellbeing conversations. Staff can also train externally for the Institute of Leadership and Management Level 4 qualification.
Fisher Jones Greenwood is committed to giving back to the locality in which it works and has created the FJG Foundation to raise money for community projects and charities.
