Riverview Law to take on 100 staff

WIRRAL-based Riverview Law is to double in size by creating up to 100 new posts over the next year, primarily in the North West.

The appointments at the the fixed-priced legal services business are a result of recent contract wins with a number of FTSE 100 businesses.

The majority of the new roles in Riverview Law and Riverview Solicitors, which include lawyers, business law executives, client managers, IT developers and data analysts, will be based in their Bromborough offices.

A number of recruitment days in Wirral are planned during September and October and it is hoped that at least 25 new recruits will be appointed by the end of this year.

Riverview Law launched its fixed price legal services in February  2012. These services range from multi-year outsourced contracts for large organisations, through to barrister-led litigation for businesses of all sizes and annual contracts for SMEs.

Karl Chapman, chief executive of Riverview Law, said: “For far too long law firms have been protected by myth and regulation. Customers are no longer prepared to put up with an outdated hourly charging model and, rightly, are demanding more value from their lawyers.

“Our exponential growth rates show that customers are voting with their wallets. The direction of travel for the legal market, and Riverview Law, is very clear and is the reason we’re keen to recruit so many people.”
