I have worked at TFS for nearly 3 years and enjoyed every second of it! I feel very lucky to work in such a friendly environment. Within my team, there is very much an open door policy. Support, advice and assistance is readily available but I am trusted to get the job done. Having worked at firms previously where there was a lack of trust and micro-management was the order of the day, being permitted a certain level of autonomy is a breath of fresh air! Work-life balance is important across the firm and there is a genuine consideration of employees' mental health and well-being. Top rate employer!

Working at Thomas Flavell Solicitors has been a truly rewarding experience. The open-plan office fosters a collaborative and inclusive atmosphere where communication flows freely across teams. It’s refreshing to be part of a workplace where everyone, regardless of their role, is approachable and ready to lend a hand. The friendly and open environment at TFS creates a sense of belonging and encourages both personal and professional growth. Unlike other firms I’ve worked at, there’s a real emphasis on teamwork, and this culture of support makes even the most challenging tasks feel more manageable. It's a place where you feel valued, and the positive energy is palpable every day.

Everyone is so friendly and helpful here. Although we all work hard, there's still time to laugh and catch up. Although I'm now working full-time (having worked part-time for 25 years), I'm happy to because the team is lovely to work with and the atmosphere here is probably the best I've known.

I can honestly say I have never worked at such a friendly and helpful place. Whether it's a secretary, solicitor or director, everyone is extremely willing to help and nothing is too much trouble when you have any queries. It is a pleasure to come to work. After only working for Thomas Flavell and Sons a few months, we received an experience day for all our hard work. I have never worked at a firm who are so generous and appreciative of their employees.
