      Not a bad place to work

      Litigation assistant

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People are always willing to help whenever you are stuck on a case. Or if you need to go away on annual leave the team members will do their best to assist with your work load of course you have to ensure the essential tasks are done.

      Cons

      The case load for each fee earner is ridiculously high! This can be easily managed by employing more fee earners but not the case. Sometimes it affects turns over of case settlement.

      My training contract so far...

      Pros

      The people at Kennedys are possibly one of the biggest pro- they create a friendly and supportive environment and ultimately a positive culture. I have had opportunities to collaborate with international offices and work on pieces of litigation in a range of jurisdictions. I have been pushed and challenged, but in a supportive manner and been able to shape my training contract to my needs and career goals.

      Cons

      The salary is perhaps not as good as other firms, but that is possibly countered by a better work life balance and more consistent finishing time. There are discrepancies between the offices as to how seats are allocated and the opportunities available.
