Our Culture

Open, approachable and friendly are three words used most often to describe the culture at Walker Smith Way. We are a very inclusive firm, where everyone is treated as an individual and valued for the work they do.

We believe in a work/life balance, although there will be occasions where you may need to work after hours, we do our best to keep these to a minimum.

We also have a commitment to professional training and development. As well as a full induction when you join and an appraisal system, we also pay relevant professional fees and invest in keeping your knowledge up-to-date.

We pride ourselves on being a modern and progressive legal practice. We work with the latest technology and have recently introduced a new practice management system.

We are also an extremely sociable firm – both inside and outside the office. We have a number of excuses throughout the year to get together. Our Social Committee organises regular social events for everyone in both offices. Recent events have included an evening at Chester Races, barbecues, boat trips and various sporting occasions such as cricket and hockey. We also have a firm-wide Christmas party. We aim to cater for everyone’s interests, and these events allow us all to socialise together so that you can get to know all staff within the firm, not just your team members.

Our offices are located in the heart of Chester and Wrexham; just a few minutes walk from shops, bars and restaurants. So there is plenty to do in your lunch break.
