Careers With Us

Due to the current COVID 19 pandemic, our recruitment plans for 2020 have certainly been disrupted, however, while we navigate our way through these challenging times we do now have a few opportunities arising, please see the current vacancies listed below.

We unfortunately still aren’t taking applications for our Summer Vacation Scheme, Work Experience and Apprenticeship opportunities at Roythornes, these initiatives are still on hold until further notice. This is because with less of us in our offices at the moment it is a challenge to deliver the necessary level of supervision we would like to give to these schemes. We are hoping that we will have further news on whether we will be running these initiatives and how we will be organising these, at some point in the near future. This is a very uncertain time for us all and this decision was a difficult one for Roythornes, as we pride ourselves on our record for providing opportunities of a high standard for both careers and training. 

Roythornes is a progressive, market leading firm and to continue our ambitious plans for growth we need the best people.

At Roythornes we put our people first; as a result many of today’s partners trained with the firm and are now involved in managing one of the UK’s  top 200 law firms. The development of our staff into future leaders has been one of the key reasons for our impressive track record and we aim to continue to ‘grow organically from within’.

We place training and development of our people at the heart of everything we do by offering an excellent succession programme offering a range of opportunities to grow and develop. We are very proud of our investment in our staff and environment and hold awards in both areas

Additionally, we have also been featured in the top 1000 companies to inspire Britain. 

We regularly feature in the Legal 500, in particular for our skills in the agricultural sector, where we have been a consistently ‘first tier’ firm. Other teams are also mentioned for their work, including our litigation team:

‘Standout regional firm’ Roythornes Solicitors houses an ‘excellent’ team, which assists farmers, landowners and high-net-worth individuals with a range of contentious matters such as proprietary estoppel claims and Inheritance Act disputes’ (Legal 500 2017)

We aim to offer great benefits for staff at all levels and continually review and consider new ways of enhancing our benefits package to meet the needs of our employees. Our current benefits include: 

• Membership of the firm’s personal pension plan.
