Howes Percival LLP - True Picture

Howes Percival LLP

Firm profile




Howes Percival is a bit different from your average law firm — and what a relief that is. It might be the diversity of the culture or the singularity of our purpose, or simply because we like being here, helping people and businesses.

Our working environment is professional, progressive and focused but also friendly and our structure means that fee earners are rewarded on merit and can progress to senior associate, director or partner status quickly.

Main areas of work




The firm is a recognised market leader in corporate and commercial, commercial property, planning, employment, commercial and property litigation, construction, IP/IT, insolvency, regulatory, family and private client among other areas of law.

Training opportunities




Trainees usually complete four six-month seats. They report directly to a partner or senior solicitor and after three months and again towards the end of each seat will be formally assessed by the fee earner training them. Trainees will be given every assistance by the fee earners in their department to develop quickly and will be given responsibility as soon as they are ready.

Other benefits




Staff benefit from a flexible benefits package, including contributing pension, private medical insurance and 25 days holiday per year amongst other things.
