Clearly's Hall of Shame

It is worth noting that each of the lawyers listed below were employed by Addleshaw Goddard following their Letter before Claim in February 2023. They were a lot younger, better paid, better qualified and enjoy far superior mental capacity than their opponent an 85 year old Litigant in Person representing the Defendant and yet it's unforgivable that not one of them noticed Addleshaw Goddard was in abuse of process, behaved criminally including tampering with evidence, conspiracy to defraud, forgery and contempt of court.

Good office environment.

Pros - Good people in the team
Cons - Poor salary for office location.

Reviewed : 06 Apr 2026

High stress, little reward or recognition.

Pros - Good name to have on your CV for legal experience, exposure to technical work as you have a fair bit of responsibility from the start
Cons - Extremely high pressure and little training making the job very stressful, unrealistic targets, hierarchical culture, little reward or recognition for your work, very underpaid paralegals with absolutely no guarantee or encouragement of progression.

Reviewed : 30 Mar 2026

No sense of self worth!

Pros - Good clients and deals, not much else
Cons - People, hours, demands, rudeness.

Reviewed : 27 Mar 2026

Very unpleasant place to work.

Pros - Nice office, good equipment some of the IT co-workers are really great people
Cons - Bullying, finger-pointing and failure is entrenched in the entire culture of Business Services. Anybody with talent or ambition has left, leaving very little behind to bring about the changes required in the firm. People here are either very unhappy and looking to leave or serial under performers.

Reviewed : 22 Mar 2026

Addleshaw Goddard England Centric

Pros - Many of the team are great lawyers but
Cons - The whole firm seems to be run by the accountants in England and the Scottish part of the partnership seemed to have no authority.

Reviewed : 22 Mar 2026

None, apart from the ability to work from home!

Pros - Commutable Office - Big law firm - Good benefits like holidays, work from home, and etc
Cons - Poor training and onboarding - Lack of support from supervisor

Reviewed : 19 Mar 2026

Disappointing experience in FS practice.

Pros - Not particularly long hours and not a bad subsidised canteen
Cons - The practice has no clear strategy. No transparency. Complete lack of any pre-existing knowhow and templates. Weak client following - completely dependent on internal referrals. Complete lack of social events and interaction outside the office.

Reviewed : 03 Mar 2026

Addleshaw Goddard slightly toxic atmosphere

Pros - Good IT system. Nice office and location. Some people were nice
Cons - TST paralegal role had high turnover. Lack of trust amongst colleagues. Poor management. Favoritism. Long working hours for no recognition. Work not allocated fairly. Staff complained all the time because they were unhappy.

Reviewed : 23 Feb 2026

Addleshaw Goddard good Name, bad experience.

Pros - Having AG on your CV can open up a lot of doors in the industry. The Qualified Solicitors / Legal execs within the business are very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions
Cons - As a paralegal, your line manager is unqualified and rarely has a detailed enough knowledge of the work you undertake to provide you with relevant guidance. Paralegals are often used as mass admin for projects rather than given opportunities to gain knowledge.

Reviewed : 28 Apr 2023

Treat your staff with respect.

Pros - Flexible working Salaries are on par Opportunities are available
Cons - Very Risk adverse. Segregation between Legal Tech and IT - they need to work together not apart. The firms needs to allow IT devise a technical strategy that underpins the capabilities of the firm, not Partners controlling.

Reviewed : 21 Apr 2023

Would not recommend Addleshaw Goddard!

Pros - Good environment, Excellent offices, Good benefits (Healthcare, Gym, Pension)
Cons - Bullying is rife within the IT department with a finger pointing mentality. Minimal collaboration across teams with a focus on single "heroes" to deliver tasks or fix issues who are then continually publicly lauded.

Reviewed : 14 Apr 2023

Addleshaw Goddard not pleasant place to work.

Pros - Some genuinely interesting work if you're in the right place at the right time. Generally a nice bunch of co-workers
Cons - 18k is the starting salary and is the salary you will likely stay on regardless of performance or billable hours. Bonuses, not likely your friends in other industries are getting 10% bonuses and yearly pay rises.
