Careers & Vacancies

Why you should join us at Wilson Browne.

It could be that you’re looking for more from life than an endless pile of casework.

It could be that you’re a ‘seize the day’ person who’s looking for an opportunity to shape their own destiny.

Or it could simply be that you’ve heard of us, and you relish the idea of being part of our award-winning team (named as the Northamptonshire Law Society’s Law Firm of the Year for the third time in 2019 and possessing numerous Law Society of England & Wales “Excellence” achievements).

If you’re close to qualifying, or have up to 3* years’ PQE, then read on.

We’re looking for an ambitious Employment Solicitor/Legal Executive who can work independently, handling their caseload from instruction to completion with the support of a solicitor and Partner. This role involves managing a diverse and varied caseload of contentious and non-contentious work for businesses of all sizes, as well as some employee work. If you’ve read this far, you’ll also be interested to know that we have a proven track record in developing and promoting from within.

This is a role where your voice will be heard, with genuine scope for a challenging but supported career.

Wilson Browne is the largest commercial law team in Northamptonshire – recognised by the Legal 500 and Lexcel Accredited. We’re a friendly 6-office practice with a strong client base, loyal staff members and an excellent work/life balance (believe it or not, we even have our own corporate teddy bear…but we remain serious about what we do).

We are currently seeking a full-time New Enquiries Assistant to help us drive our service to clients and potential clients enquiring about our services..

Working as part of our Marketing Team, this is an exciting role that will bring you into contact with a diverse range of people with a multitude of enquiries. Dealing with in-bound enquiries, the challenge is to clearly define the enquirer’s legal needs, position a solution and liaise with our lawyers regarding setting the appointment for a further discussion.

It is important that you are empathetic, able to quickly grasp the issues, match the client’s need across a range of legal disciplines, and provide an excellent level of service to new clients as part of their first experience of the firm.

In addition to securing appointments for our lawyers, the New enquiries Team is responsible for sending out and following up quotes. You therefore need to be able to convert opportunities into new business and have a willingness to ‘close’.

The successful candidate will possess a polite and confident telephone manner with excellent IT, organisational and time management skills.

Legal experience is preferred but not a prerequisite and training will be provided; however, the successful candidate will be expected to work within an in-bound call environment and must be capable of working consistently well within a team, and dealing with a large but manageable volume of enquiries.

The role has the potential to provide a route in to the legal professions for the right candidate, depending on performance.

In due course, a thorough and detailed working knowledge of the legal services provided by the firm is expected.

Please apply with covering letter and CV to John Whitehouse, Practice Manager at careers@wilsonbrowne.co.uk.

Acquisitions, Disposals, Exits, MBOs, MBIs, Asset Finance, Restructuring, Shareholder Agreements…

..if you follow all that, then you’re talking our language, and if that’s the case we should be talking.

It may come as a shock, but there is an active Company & Commercial market outside of the big cities – this region is thriving and with that, comes great opportunity for ambitious lawyers.

You will have experience in most if not all of the above, including commercial agreements, advising on alternative forms of business structure, giving general commercial advice, and have an excellent knowledge of transactional processes. It should go without saying that you’ll need technical expertise.

You’ll also need 2-5 years PQE and a good range of commercial legal experience. If you’ve got this far in your career you are no doubt a confident communicator: persuasive, articulate, and friendly with a good sense of humour…and a hunger to get deals done (as well as having good drafting and analytical skills).

Wilson Browne is the largest commercial law team in Northamptonshire – recognised by the Legal 500, Lexcel Accredited, and winner of numerous awards. We’re a friendly 6-office practice with a strong client base, loyal staff members and an excellent work/life balance.
