What our Staff say
Backhouse Solicitors is an amazing place to work. I joined in 2021 as a Conveyancing assistant, before moving to the Private Client department as a paralegal, and I have just recently qualified as a solicitor following the completion of my training contract. The leadership team have supported me in my career development at every stage, and since working at Backhouse, I have been given guidance, support, and encouragement.
Working in Private Client is both rewarding and a privilege, with an interesting mix of a caseload and exciting challenges. Joining Backhouse is one of the best decisions I have made, and I am glad to be part of the exciting journey as Backhouse Solicitors continues to grow.

Minal supported me in my career development, and since working at Backhouse, she has given me guidance and encouragement.

Sarina Hayes, Associate SolicitorI joined Backhouse Solicitors in May 2021 as a solicitor but wanted to retrain in Private Client, having previously worked in personal injury for around 9 years, and have loved every minute of it! Backhouse Solicitors gave me the opportunity to explore a new legal sector and provided training, support and guidance along the way. In September 2024, I was promoted to Associate Solicitor. Backhouse Solicitors provides excellent career progression and is a place where you are rewarded for your hard work.
Tina Prajapati, Associate SolicitorAfter weeks of work experience between 2017 and 2018, I formally joined Backhouse Solicitors in 2022 as a Legal Assistant, mainly working in the Commercial Conveyancing department and helping out in the Employment and Litigation teams.
In 2023 I was offered the opportunity to enrol on the Level 7 Solicitor Apprenticeship with BPP, which allows me to study towards an LLB (Hons) Law and Legal Practice degree and a solicitor qualification while continuing to work as an Apprentice Solicitor in the Commercial Conveyancing department. This allows me to study multiple areas of law while continuing to work in a more specific role.
George Cooper, Apprentice SolicitorI have worked for Backhouse Solicitors Limited since 2013, and so far it has been the best place I have worked. I have always been treated as part of the team, and have always felt welcomed as everyone is really friendly and willing to help.
The management team are great, and I always feel that I can go to anyone of them for support if there are any issues. They will also always welcome any new ideas that you have to better the business.
Jane Harrington, Associate Legal ExecutiveI joined Backhouse as a Legal Secretary and I am now a Property Paralegal starting my CLC training. The firm has given me incredible opportunities for growth and advancement.
I love working in the Conveyancing department ‘ The Dream Team’ as we all work together to get the job done and have fun doing it. A ‘typical day’ is never typical, every day is filled with new learning opportunities.

Kira has just finished her week of work experience at Backhouse and she LOVED it. You and your team left her absolutely buzzing for her upcoming law career, again many thanks for giving her the opportunity and leaving her with a very positive experience.
Thank you so much again for my work experience at Backhouse Solicitors last week. I really enjoyed it, and it was very interesting to see how the law is applied in practice. I really enjoyed the variety of the week, it was very well planned and I felt as though I experienced a good range of the services you offer.
I thought the fact you provide work experience for younger students was very forward-thinking and supportive. Prior to the week I wasn’t sure which field of law I wanted to go into, but I really enjoyed the varied nature of Family Law, and I am looking forward to studying it in more depth next year as one of my optional modules. I was made very welcome by everybody, and I really enjoyed the professional, inclusive atmosphere of your firm.
