About us:

Admiral Law was created in 2013 to provide legal assistance for Admiral customers that had been involved in Road Traffic Accidents. The aim is to ensure those customers are given a great service. Taking the burden and stress of an accident away from a client is at the forefront of Admiral Law’s aim, whilst ensuring employees give correct and effective legal advice to the get fair compensation for their losses.

About your career:

Whilst there are numerous ways to develop your skillset within Admiral Law, we are very excited to be one of the first law firms in Wales offering the new Legal Apprenticeships not only internally to our staff but also to new recruits wishing to join us as a Legal Apprentice! 

Our employees are right at the heart of our success. We put a lot of effort and investment into making sure our organisation is a happy place to work, ensuring employees have the appropriate training to excel in their field of expertise. We have a very experienced management group that deliver regular training and work hard to ensure all our employees are equipped with the tools and the knowledge to excel in their roles. 

The management group works closely with individual handlers, investing in their career and ensuring they have the support and guidance to achieve set goals. We believe that investing time in our staff leads to people enjoying the job, advancing their technical knowledge, and understanding what pathway they wish to choose in the business. Internal progression is paramount, and we work hard to ensure that our staff members have many opportunities to further their career. 

Not only are we supporting Legal Apprentices in Wales, but we also currently have a significant number of handlers in Admiral Law enrolled on CILEx courses. Funding by Admiral Law for the CILEX courses is possible (subject to an internal application process) yet another perk for those successful should you wish to continue your studies once the Apprenticeship concludes!
