The lawyers and support staff at Hanne & Co are our most valuable asset
Hanne & Co is quite simply a different sort of law firm. We pride ourselves on career development, effective team work and offering a great place to work.
We truly value diversity in our staff and provide a friendly and inclusive working environment. We want to know what our staff think and how they can become more involved with the firm. We have recently started a staff survey, which is completed on an anonymous basis so that the members of our team can express themselves freely. Our staff is the firm’s future – we do not say that lightly.
Hanne & Co is a place where our employees are able to develop their skills whilst gaining real recognition and job satisfaction. Everyone here works together as a team, putting in real enthusiasm and striving for excellence in practice every step of the way.
We have Lexcel accreditation, CQS accreditation (as well as others) and are an equal opportunities employer. We also take our Corporate Social Responsibility very seriously indeed and we truly believe that our staff should be at the heart of this.
Staff retention is one of our strengths – sometimes staff look for opportunities elsewhere but we are always striving and trying our level best to retain our staff – one thing we have noticed is that often when people do leave they return.
We are frequently looking for hard working, enthusiastic and ambitious people to join our team. Our current vacancies appear here from time to time and we look forward to hearing from you.
