What we offer?

At Wilson Nesbitt, we know that our people are our greatest asset. Which is why we do everything we can to look after them. Many of our employees joined us as paralegals and have been with us for several years and even decades – Wilson Nesbitt is a firm where long term rewarding careers are built. We think this speaks volumes about our friendly, inclusive, and supportive work environment, where people are valued as individuals, encouraged to never stop learning and developing, and given the tools to excel. It also says much about our great clients and the challenging, satisfying work our people get to do. We offer competitive salaries, as well as numerous benefits, including private medical insurance, birthday leave, buying and selling holidays. Your mental and physical wellbeing are important to us, which is why we hold regular employee wellness days, yoga sessions, and coffee mornings with guest speakers working in the wellness space.
We also operate a charity commission group that enables our people to give back and make a real, positive impact in the local community. We have two offices—one in the heart of Belfast and the other in Bangor by the sea - with the opportunity to work flexibly as well. So whether you are a trainee looking for a firm that will help you gain hands-on experience and support you in your journey to becoming an experienced solicitor in search of new opportunities and challenges, please get in touch.
