Yorkshire-based law firm Lupton Fawcett has introduced an onboarding bonus initiative. This is to encourage growth within their corporate, intellectual property, dispute management, and property teams. The firm is looking to onboard talented legal professionals with a commercial mindset.
James Richardson, Managing Partner at Lupton Fawcett, stated, “Legal firms across the region have faced a talent squeeze for some years, and the current economic uncertainty has intensified this.” As a result, the bonus initiative has been developed to encourage innovative talent to join the firm despite ongoing economic difficulty.
Candidates must register their interest with the firm to be eligible for the bonus to ensure genuine candidate interest. This is to discourage an influx of applications from recruitment agencies. Lupton Fawcett’s onboarding bonus value will reach up to 20% of the candidate’s annual salary.
Onboarding bonuses, often referred to as “golden hellos,” are common in the US legal sector to attract talent hesitant to leave their current roles due to annual bonus concerns.
Jen Salt, Head of People and Performance at Lupton Fawcett, emphasised the firm’s commitment to innovative recruitment, stating, “We’re looking for talented team players who are motivated by delivering outstanding client care and who want to work in a supportive environment.”
Lupton Fawcett provides a comprehensive range of legal services throughout the UK. The firm has offices located in Leeds, Sheffield, and York. The firm has already received recognition for its work; In 2022, it was named one of The Times Best Law Firms and featured in the Chambers UK 2022 guide. The firm’s regulatory and corporate defence team was a finalist at the Yorkshire Legal Awards 2023.
