Case Study: Richard, Legal Manager

Name: Richard
Role: Legal Manager
Hours: Full time

Background:

Qualified Solicitor and Legal Manager responsible for a team of 26 staff dealing with global commercial contracts for a FTSE 100 customer. I trained in Chester and latterly worked in Liverpool advising businesses on commercial matters.

Career prospects, development and learning opportunities:

The development of the team is critical to the success of Riverview Law. Karl Chapman (CEO) regularly reminds the team that the future leaders of the business will be grown from within and this highlights how importantly the Board takes the development of the Riverview Law employees.

As well as the normal CPD courses that Solicitors attend, we have our own internal training which is specifically tailored to the needs of the employees and we are currently rolling out a comprehensive Learning and Development Program covering not only legal development but also training in other additional skills necessary for people and business management.

In addition, we currently have 7 Trainee Solicitors with a further 10 opportunities this year, we have a Legal Apprentice and there are regularly promotion opportunities across the business which will only increase as we grow.

All of this is testament to how important Riverview Law holds the learning and development of its staff, particularly in the context that we are not yet 4 years old!
