Mentoring

“Joining a firm as a new trainee can be a frightening experience. Withy King recently introduced the “Buddy System”. They match a first year trainee with a second year one, giving the new recruit close contact with somebody who has been through the same training experiences and who is approachable and knowledgeable. The fact that you have somebody who is a similar age to you and who knows how things work is incredibly supportive.”
Richard Bowater, Solicitor

Personal development

“Withy King are a firm who believe in getting the best out of you and developing you as far and as much as you would like to be developed. I started the firm as a junior secretary 25 years’ ago and because of the firm’s investment in me I am now a qualified Legal Executive.”
Carol Austin, Legal Executive 

"I have found Withy King to be a very welcoming, friendly and professional firm. I have been impressed by the emphasis placed on quality training, and the commitment of all members of staff, not only to achieving high standards and to producing quality work for clients, but also to working as team players."
Katherine Moody, newly qualified solicitor

Communicating

"We listen to our clients and seek to build relationships with them so that we can fully understand their needs.  I appreciate the fact that we maintain contact with our clients and are encouraged to develop working relationships beyond our initial instruction, so that any future requirements that our clients may have can be identified and satisfied.”
Hannah Morgan, newly qualified solicitor
