Trainee seat handovers - what is your process? ♻️ Every six months, trainee solicitors in the UK change departments to gain valuable experience across practice areas. ❌ Most firms have no standard process for work handover. Things happen via email or Word tables. This is clunky, inconsistent, and there is a risk that things get missed. ✅ Sophie Wright at CMS identified a better way - building departmental handover checklists in Lupl. 💯 The result? 100% of trainees reported a more streamlined handover. Learn more and see how your firm can streamline the process in our latest customer story!

Why the Christmas break is the ideal time to explore legal opportunities 🎄 🎅 🎄 Slower Work Period: Lawyers have more time to reflect on their career goals, update resumes, and network without the usual pressures of a hectic workload. 🎄 Year-End Hiring: Firms often have hiring budgets that need to be spent before the end of the year. This makes December an active hiring period as firms finalize their staffing needs for the upcoming year. 🎄 Strategic Start Dates: By securing a new position in December, a lawyer can negotiate to start in January. This aligns with the new fiscal year and provides a fresh start after the holiday break. 🎄 Bonuses and Negotiation Leverage Many lawyers wait until after receiving year-end bonuses to transition, but starting the job search in December gives candidates an edge. Employers know candidates might be willing to negotiate to avoid waiting until January, which could lead to more favorable offers. 🎄 Alignment with New Year Goals: Starting a new job at the beginning of the year aligns with personal and professional resolutions. It’s a symbolic and motivational way to kickstart a new chapter in one’s career. By leveraging these factors, lawyers can take advantage of the holiday season to set themselves up for career growth in the new year. At Eos Adonis we specialise in connecting top legal talent in both the London and Germany market. Please do get in touch if you would like to have a short discussion regarding your best options.

‘Pretty woman’ comment wins sex discrimination claim💡 The tribunal judgement centred on a message received by Emma Nunn from manager Adam Crouch, requesting her attendance at a client meeting for vehicle recovery company Crouch Recovery solely because the client "likes pretty women." Ms. Nunn argued this comment and other incidents demonstrated unequal treatment based on her gender 👩🏽 While the tribunal dismissed Ms. Nunn's other claims, including harassment and unfair dismissal, Judge Rachel Broughton ruled in her favour regarding the "pretty woman" remark 🏆 The judge determined such a comment would not be directed at a male employee, highlighting that Mr. Crouch was not complimenting Ms. Nunn but rather reducing her professional value to mere physical appearance 👎🏽 The tribunal acknowledged Ms. Nunn's argument that her qualifications, not attractiveness, should determine her role in client meetings. A separate hearing will decide the compensation amount awarded to Ms. Nunn 💰 ‍Supportis are experts in #HumanResources, #EmploymentLaw and #HealthAndSafety for #UKBusiness like yours, posting #HRNews for employers every weekday ✔️ Book a fast, free, no-obligation chat with our friendly team today 🙋‍♀️ 📱 0161 603 2156 💻 supportis.com 💌 [email protected] 💬 DM us #StockportBusiness #ManchesterBusiness #UKBusiness #NorthWestBusiness #UKSmallBusiness #LondonBusiness #HR #HumanResources #UKHealthAndSafety #EmploymentLawUK #WorkLifeBalance #EmployeeWellbeing #EmploymentTribunal #UKEmploymentTribunal #EmploymentLawNews #HumanResourcesNews #UKHumanResources #HealthandSafetyNews #SexDiscrimination #PrettyWoman #GenderEquality #EqualityatWork

Is recruitment "by far the biggest obstacle" to law firm growth? 🤔 In many chats with law firms, the concern around recruitment keeps popping up. Is it really the biggest hurdle to growth? Despite a rise in law graduates, many firms are still struggling to find the right talent at the right PQE. Recruiting isn't just about filling vacancies; it's about finding the right match - someone who fits the firm's culture and meets client expectations. 60% of new candidates at Thornton Legal receive a job offer within 28 days, but the journey to find them is far from simple. At Thornton Legal, we've realised that building strong, honest relationships is key. With our high retention and offer acceptance rates, we're proud to consult and support our partners. 📈 The UK legal scene is competitive, and talent retention is a crucial part of this puzzle. 92% of candidates we place are still with the same firm after 12 months, a testament to our thorough process and commitment to quality. What do you think? Is recruitment the main barrier to growth for law firms?
