Mark Holloway on joining a firm with growth opportunity

Mark is a property lawyer who had over 15 years of experience under his belt when he was looking for a new career opportunity. He shares his experience of joining the firm as a Principal Director – a role that supports business growth and offers a fast-track route to Partnership.

"I wanted a role where I could build a successful business based on both the existing team and clients, as well as my own contacts.

I’d been aware of Foot Anstey and the impactful work they do for quite some time. When I met with some of the team during my interview process, I was struck by their depth of experience and the quality of clients they work with. I came away very impressed.

It became clear to me quite quickly that my own business experience and aspirations aligned closely with the firm's goals and strategy. The ability to grow a practice area with the support of the firm, alongside a clear, common aim, was a significant draw for me.

Since joining I’ve appreciated all the efforts made to make me feel welcome. The career development support is excellent which reflects the importance placed on shaping the firm's leaders - I've been benefitting from external business coaching, been enrolled on the firm's Future Leaders' programme, and have regular check-ins to support me in preparing for Partnership.

The people are friendly and supportive, and there is a very clear sense of aims and strategy and a desire to work together to achieve a common aim. The excellent benefits package is also very attractive and the firm’s commitment to creating a supportive and dynamic workplace was impressive.

Foot Anstey is a great place to develop your own practice and accelerate your career. The firm is genuinely open to and supportive of new ideas, client targets, and business proposals that support the firm’s growth strategy."
