Reception

November 2010: We are currently looking to recruit a full-time receptionist/administrator. The post involves meeting and greeting clients, answering the phone and dealing with the post, but we would prefer to recruit someone who has an interest in developing their career and assisting with office administration and procedures. The closing date for applications is 10 December 2010. 

This post is now filled.

Duty Solicitors and Advocates

Spring 2011: We will be seeking to recruit two to three high calibre duty solicitors at least one of whom should have experience or ambition to be a regular crown court advocate. We are an equal opportunities employer and encourage applications from duty solicitors looking to work reduced hours, part time, freelance or on a consultancy basis. We have a thriving crown court advocacy department and are seeking to build on our successes in court to date. We already have two in-house counsel who are also duty solicitor accredited, and are keen to expand this side of our advocacy team.

As at April 2011 we have recruited three solicitors and one barrister, and are not presently looking to recruit again. We may look at further recruitment in Autumn 2011, but not earlier.

Work Experience Internships

From mid-November 2010: We are keen to hear from enthusiastic graduates who have an interest in 

  • criminal work
  • prison law
  • personal injury work 

You will be allocated a supervisor who will be responsible for your welfare and oversee any work that you do. Work experience is unpaid and should be for a minimum period of one month in any one area of work. Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.

We have agreed to a number of internships over the summer of 2011. We may still be able to accomodate one or two more. Interested applicants should contact Jenny Giles at info@lansbury-worthington.co.uk
