Learning & development

We have to be able to provide clear and practical solutions to our clients and an effective Learning and Development programme is key to that.

David Ball, Head of Learning Development, Farrer & Co

As one of the country’s leading law firms, we make a significant investment in our Learning and Development programmes, ensuring all of our lawyers and business support staff possess the very latest knowledge and technical skills when working and supporting the firm’s clients. 

The way in which law firms work is changing, as are the needs of our clients.  Our role is to make sure that everyone at the firm is ready for these changes, so that we can continue to build our relationships for the future in the same way as we have in the past.

For a business that provides practical solutions to the issues that our clients face, market-leading technical knowledge is an essential resource.  We work with all areas of the firm to ensure that the technical know-how and understanding we have is accessible to all of our clients, whatever their area of focus.  In addition to technical expertise, the Learning and Development team provide support to everyone at the firm in understanding the pressurised commercial environment in which we and our clients operate, so that we can provide the rounded solutions that our clients need.

Our people are the most important asset we have as a firm.  The Learning and Development team work to ensure that everyone at the firm has an enjoyable, engaging, and rewarding career.  Having a strong and relevant Learning and Development strategy is vital not only for staff retention, motivation and engagement, but to the success of the firm itself.

Our clients demand the very best legal service.  We are proud to say that all of the firm’s employees have our full support in achieving their true potential, both for their own development and the clients that we work with.
