We put a very significant emphasis on providing our clients with exceptional client service and experience, and are keen for our lawyers to use their experience, knowledge and expertise to provide an outstanding quality of work as well. We currently have the highest average score and by far the most Google Reviews of any law firm in Devon, Cornwall, Somerset and the majority of Dorset.
Our Corporate and Business Law, Employment Law, Commercial Property and Litigation teams together provide companies and organisations with a comprehensive and joined-up approach to all of their legal requirements.
For individuals and families needling legal support, we understand that visiting, talking to and trusting in a lawyer can be a daunting experience. As a result, we tailor our approach to ensure that the needs of our clients are catered to and that we balance professional advice and assistance with a friendly atmosphere.
Salary & benefits
We offer a highly competitive salary, 6 weeks holiday per year, a health cash back plan, death in service benefit, a healthy bonus scheme and enhanced maternity/paternity pay.
Outside of work, we organise various events for our people throughout the year and live and work in undoubtedly one of the most beautiful parts of the country. We also think that it’s one of the best places to bring up a young family.
It’s vitally important to us that our people can maintain healthy and happy lives, both in and out of work. We have a number of resources and initiatives designed to support health and well-being.
This really is a two-way relationship. Our clients benefit from your hard work, your expertise, commitment and experience. In return, you’ll be an important and valued member of the firm, and we’ll do whatever we can to make sure that you have access to the resources that both you and your family need to thrive.
Our values
Everything that we do at Nash & Co Solicitors, is done with these values in mind.
Be Fair – we do not expect you to work ‘silly hours’, in fact we discourage it. In our view, work is part of our lives, not all of it.
Be Kind – we are committed to being kind to both clients and our people. This helps to create an environment where our people produce their best work, and our clients return time and again. We should always be supportive, compassionate and act thoughtfully.
Be Transparent – we should always be transparent about costs, timescales, and the work that we do for clients. We should be in regular contact with our clients, keeping things understandable and avoiding legal jargon wherever possible.
Be Honest – if something goes wrong, or circumstances change, we should always communicate this with our clients as soon as possible.
Be Brilliant – We should constantly challenge ourselves to be better, think bigger and work to find creative solutions to clients’ challenges.
Diversity and inclusion
At Nash & Co Solicitors, diversity and inclusion naturally underpins how we as a firm live our values and everything we do. We believe that everyone has a voice, and that everyone’s voice counts. We know that the rich diversity across our firm makes us stronger, more innovative and creative, which helps us to better serve our clients and communities. We are committed to providing an inclusive working environment and culture across our firm, where everyone can feel comfortable coming to work.
Diversity of perspective, thought, background and culture combine to make us the one of the top law firms in the area; and because of this, we actively seek to build balanced teams. We welcome the unique contribution that you will bring to our firm and actively encourage applications from all talented people – however your talent is packaged, whatever your background or circumstance and regardless of how you identify.
Our environmental and community commitments
We have a range of long-term environmental commitments, particularly with ocean-based charities and organisations - the Ocean Conservation Trust, the National Marine Aquarium, Surfers Against Sewage, and Whale and Dolphin Conservation. Plymouth’s known as Britain’s Ocean City, and we want to do our bit to help look after the seas and rivers that surround us. We’re also running our own rewilding and tree planting scheme in our grounds and the adjacent public park, to encourage wildlife to thrive. You can find out more about our environmental action plan here.
Here at Nash & Co we have always believed in doing whatever we can to help and support our local community, and this will always be an important part of the firm. From buying Christmas presents for young carers across Plymouth to paying for our staff to enter half marathons, 10k and 5k events. From doing beach cleans and street cleans to cycling the equivalent of Plymouth to the South of France and organising bake sales and charity quizzes etc. Supporting our community is something that we’re all really passionate about and more than happy to do.
