Riverview Law plans Manchester office opening following 100% revenue growth

Following revenue growth of over 100% and a host of new contract wins, Wirral-based Riverview Law is to open a Manchester office.

Kate Thomsett, Head of HR at Riverview Law says: “Our main office is in Bromborough, Wirral, and with further significant growth anticipated in 2015, we will continue to grow this office rapidly. However, we’ve chosen to also open a new Manchester office as part of our expansion strategy. Like Wirral, Manchester is a great catchment area for the skills we’re looking for – solicitors, paralegals, client managers, IT professionals.”

The business is currently sourcing a suitable location and expects to open in the City during Q1 2015.

Alongside the opening, the business expects to recruit an additional 30 people across both offices. Kate Thomsett adds: “Customers are quickly adopting our approach to legal service delivery. They buy-in to our culture and our fixed-priced technology and data-led model. We’re looking for talented professionals who like spending time with customers and who also know how to have fun and work as part of one team.”

The opening of the Manchester office follows on from the recent launch of ‘Riverview Law In-house’, which includes a range of software modules that help in-house legal teams in large organisations manage matters, evolve their operating model and improve their effectiveness and efficiency. Earlier this month Riverview Law also announced a partnership with the University of Liverpool to exploit its Artificial Intelligence expertise.

Kate Thomsett says: “We invest heavily in our team so that they can become the future leaders of our business. We only offer training contracts to existing team members and we have up to 10 training contracts beginning in September 2015. Budding solicitors should join us before March 2015 to be able to apply for one of these places.”

Steven Zdolyny, Director of Legal Services at Riverview Law, says: “We offer great quality work with FTSE100 companies, flexible working hours and without the pressure of time recording and billing targets. One of our recent private practice recruits described our culture as ‘liberating’. We’d encourage anyone to get in touch if they’re looking to develop their career within a positive, energetic and innovative environment.”
