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.

Addleshaw Goddard Good Name, bad experience
Pros - Having AG on your CV can open up a lot of doors in the industry
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.

Disappointing experience in FS practice.

Addleshaw Goddard worst decision I ever made.

Addleshaw Goddard would not recommend!
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.

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.

Addleshaw Goddard More Cons than Pros!
Pros - Achievable targets Managers are generally friendly and down to earth as are the people
Cons - Low pay and little chance of progression, dull and repetitive work unless you’re passionate about PI.
Reviewed : 08 Mar 2023
Addleshaw Goddard badly run
Pros - Does have nice people but they all seem to be leaving
Cons - Becoming a toxic place to work. Used to be flat structured across business services but now very hierarchical and just unpleasant. Passive aggressive HR clearly not there to support employees just management.
