Careers in the Law

Welcome to Sills & Betteridge Careers!

Our people are our greatest strength

We are one of the leading firms of solicitors in Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and the East Midlands providing a full range of legal services to individuals and businesses. With offices in 17 locations we need a variety of different people with a wide range of skill sets and backgrounds to add value to our organisation and help us provide our award winning services to our valued clients. We fully embrace diverse characteristics, experiences and outlooks in the workplace and in the communities in which we practice.

The firm has a universal approach to recruitment and selection, learning and development, opportunities for promotion, pay and benefits, conditions of service, disciplinary and grievance and termination of employment.

You may be joining us as an aspiring or fully qualified solicitor, but if you are starting out as a school or college leaver, you will be pleased to hear that we have an excellent track record in providing alternative entry routes into the legal profession - Solicitor and Paralegal Apprenticeships, CILEX and other ‘earn while you learn’ programmes are fully endorsed by the firm and actively promoted and rolled out by our Training Partner, HR and Recruitment teams as a means of providing opportunities to those for who do not wish to pursue the university route. We also have structured development plans for our non-legal teams.

We have been recognised by various different organisations for our commitment to creating a great place to work - whether it’s our outstanding Lexcel audits, our nominations for being an outstanding training contact provider by lawcareers.net, our award for promoting access to the legal profession by CILEX or our “One To Watch” standing with the Top 200 Companies, UK.

You will be working alongside some of the region’s best lawyers, who combine technical knowledge of the law with first class client service. The Legal 500 (The World’s Leading Legal Directory) ranks Sills & Betteridge as a Top Tier Firm and recognises many of our teams in tiers one, two and three - and we are among only a few firms to receive an additional special award for outstanding ‘Client Satisfaction’ - with several members of the firm as Leading Partners, Next Generation Partners, Leading Associates and Recommended Lawyers. We are also very proud to be listed in The Lawyer UK200 law firms, in position 158, placing the firm among the UK’s best performing law firms. But what really matters to us is what our clients think of the service we provide to them and welcome the feedback they regularly leave on our client satisfaction surveys and on online review platforms. We currently have over 4000 online client reviews and our overall rating has never fallen below 4.7 stars. It has been 4.8 for over 2 years.
