Pros

Bindmans is a lovely place to work, it is flexible, the work is good and the people are nice. The atmosphere is relaxed and people are approachable.

Cons

Those who have a legal aid case load and those with a private case have the same target. So one is able to make big bonuses and get promotions and the others do not. Usually the person doing legal aid works 3 times a hard. The pay is bad. It is not comparable with other firm's. There is a payfreeze from 4-8 years, for an unknown reason. A lot of people leave during this period, including myself. they will never maintain staff if they do not increase the pay so it is fair
