We have over 130 employees, working across our diverse range of services, in our four offices.

We can offer an outstanding legal career working with high profile clients across the UK, while enjoying a supportive and progressive culture. Personal development is encouraged and hard work is rewarded.

Along with many career opportunities we offer a highly competitive package and overall great place to work.

We have four offices across Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire. Three offices are in Thame and one is in Princes Risborough.

All offices are in central town locations, with a variety of shops, restaurants and facilities close by.

We offer competitive salaries, enhanced holiday allowance, BUPA private medical cover, enhanced pension, annual salary reviews, discretionary bonus scheme, paid time off for charity work, Simply Health membership, annual flu jabs, access to free online learning portals, employee assistance programme, employee discounts on legal fees, and recruitment bounties, to mention just a few of our benefits.

We are proud of our family friendly culture with several policies aimed at families to promote a healthy work life balance. In particular, staff are able to use their own enhanced sick pay entitlement, should they need time off to care for dependents.

At Lightfoots we have active Wellbeing and Social committees who organise events and initiatives throughout the year.

At Lightfoots we open applications for training contracts to internal candidates only, we therefore do not accept external applications.

We are proud of how many of our current Solicitors and Partners were given this opportunity after joining us in various positions across the firm. We wish to continue to provide this career progression internally.

We receive a high volume of requests for work experience and internships and any placements are filled very quickly.
