Here, you define your career path. We provide the opportunity for you to expand your knowledge and capabilities, to achieve your professional goals and move forward in your career.

Our people are the key to our success. We'd like to share some of their stories with you.

A lot of firms I’ve worked for talked about ‘playing hard and working hard’ and this normally translated to no work/life balance. NLS is an employee centric responsible and mature employer that believes in ‘developing & nurturing hard’. You are important to your management team, your wellbeing is paramount. Do the best for your clients and NLS will do it’s best for you.

It's a great place to work with lots of opportunities for progression. I also work with a fantastic team of people who are passionate about what they do. The company is growing and the future is full of great opportunities. If you are looking for a rewarding career in family law, NLS is a great place to be.

As cliché as this may sound, National Legal Service Solicitors is a great company to work for. Their ethos & support for their employees nationally, is commendable. Their success story speaks volumes and this is all down to great management and teams working together as a family.

There are frequent problems to overcome which make the job more interesting and provide fresh challenges. We work hard for our clients and the team as a whole.
