At Warwickshire Legal Services we know we must continuously improve and adapt to make our direction a reality, and it is our teams of dedicated people who will make this happen.

On top of this, you can take advantage of the benefits that come with a non-corporate practice. You will see cases through to completion, enjoy a high level of responsibility and get more hands-on experience together with good work-life balance and flexibility. Benefits also include

• LGPS (Local Government Pension Scheme)
