You could be a solicitor, Fellow of the Institute of Legal Executives, member of the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators or hold other relevant qualifications but your expertise and attitude will be far more important.

Blake Morgan is committed to adopting Smart Working practices, where appropriate in the context of business needs, and empowering colleagues to maximise their performance.

Whilst we strive to ensure consistency of approach across the firm, there will inevitably be some differences in working practices across our business groups and business support functions.

We consider each colleague's personal preferences, working styles and development needs when deciding the best arrangements to suit our clients and colleagues.

A typical approach would be a blend of working in your usual office, working from another Blake Morgan office, working from a client's office and working from home.

A Guide to getting the most out of Smart Working Policy is available for our colleagues.

You will be a core part of the team and able to access the technology, support, training and resources you require.

Our lawyer teams are also well supported by our Business Services, Finance, HR, IT and Risk functions.
