A range of excellent opportunities currently exist to work within Goughs Solicitors – one of Wiltshire’s largest law firms, which continues to invest and grow. Our expansion is a reflection of our strong performance, our continuing focus on strategic planning and our commitment to providing an excellent service to all clients.
“Goughs are a forward thinking law firm, with traditional values but a modern approach. They encourage autonomy whilst also providing a support network that allows growth and progression.”
Goughs is such a friendly, progressive firm with a good local reputation. I enjoyed working as a solicitor for Goughs before so it was reassuring to know that the opportunity to come back to my role in the Private Client department would be so welcomed.
I really enjoy working at Goughs because I have a great work-life balance and have been able to really grow my confidence when it comes to more complex cases. Crucially, I have learnt to understand my value through the experience and expertise I offer.
I have also been able to progress my career quickly and the Firm have recognised my hard work and have made me feel appreciated.
“It’s friendly and approachable atmosphere and sense of camaraderie!”
