After a long career working for traditional City law firms, the last two decades as a partner, I was fed up being on the same old treadmill. I heard that there was a better way of working that could result in a higher level of income for less time invested. It sounded too good to be true, but I was then introduced to Merali Beedle. I’m happier at work than I’ve ever been and I have more time for myself and family, yet I am working just as hard as before building my business and working alongside my new team in a highly supportive and encouraging culture.

Merali Beedle is different from other challenger or virtual firms; it has an actual office in a terrific part of town and lawyers are encouraged to come in as often as they wish as there is no charge to rent ‘hot desk’ space. I enjoy working alongside other lawyers, rather than operating remotely (although I can do this too when it suits me) as this fosters a team culture for peer reviews, collaboration, knowledge sharing and problem solving.

Whilst it’s good for me, it is great for clients, who get fee transparency, competitive rates, and direct contact with the lawyer undertaking the work, not layers of junior lawyers. Our income is based on fees paid, not bills delivered, so we have every reason to go above and beyond the client’s expectations, not to run up the clock.

I joined Merali Beedle from a large City law firm. I have a young family at home and was seeking a better work / life balance and more control over the work I do. I was really made to feel welcome by Nico, Adam and the whole team. I work almost entirely from home, which allows me to be around for my children, but I can pop into the office whenever I want. I also have access to all the IT systems and knowledge base that I need. Merali Beedle really does offer me a way to continue to do good quality work while also juggling my family life. It is a forward-thinking, exciting place to work and I am very much enjoying it.
