Elliot Chambers

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.

Nadine Stevenson

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.
