Who we are

You’ll be joining a national law firm that enjoys a strong reputation, made possible by our exceptional people – each chosen for their industry knowledge and passion for their field.

It’s our goal to make you feel great about working with us, and we work hard to cultivate a culture that makes it easy for you to stay with us for many years.

We work flexibly and you’ll be empowered to work where you do your best work, balancing your individual needs with the need for us to engage as teams and deliver excellent client service.

Most of our people choose to work in a hybrid fashion, working from home and attending our offices on occasion. Our offices are in Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, London, Manchester, Southampton, and Taunton.

As an IT Developer you will:

• Create well crafted, scalable and resilient solutions used by all employees of the Firm.
• Own the delivery of IT systems into the firm, ensuring a smooth integration.
• Participate in sprint planning to deliver regular iterations.
• Provide 3^rd tier support to resolve issues with our line of business systems.

• Collaborate with users to clarify requirements and taking corrective action for issues.
• Stay up-to-date on industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices in DevOps to drive innovation and enhance the firm’s technological capabilities.

This role is right for you if:

A minimum of 2 years’ experience of working in a similar IT role (ideally in the Legal sector) is essential for this role.

• Experience of workflow development is essential, particularly VisualFiles, Sharepoint, or the Microsoft Power Platform and C# and SQL skills would be a distinct advantage.
• The role is wide ranging and you will be working with Sharepoint, SSRS, Azure Devops, Practice Management (Elite 3E), CRM (Interacton), DMS (iManage), all operating in a Microsoft environment.
• Support or development knowledge of any of these products (or equivalent) would be particularly helpful.
• You will need to be organised and proactive, with a can-do attitude, able to multitask and thrive under pressure. You will always be looking for ways to improve systems and have ideas for solving problems.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills are essential to interact with stakeholders and senior management effectively.
• Knowledge of security best practices and regulatory requirements is crucial for an IT Developer in a law firm setting.
