Pros

This is a very special place to work, where you really have the opportunity to positively impact your client's lives. It is mostly Legal Aid funded work so the clients are often vulnerable themselves, and we were taught to really take seriously our responsibility to them, as well as the case. The management are all driven by a sense of justice and care, which was really inspiring to work alongside. They are also keen to keep and develop anyone who is passionate about the work.

Cons

Some of the cases are quite upsetting, so you have to be able to switch off at the end of the day.
