Diversity

Barratts Solicitors are committed to providing a working environment where all employees are valued, supported and respected. The year 2020 has been a challenging year for all of us. Working from home has become a necessity and we have strived to ensure our staff remain happy, healthy and working as comfortably as they can in the circumstances. The health and safety of our staff and clients has been paramount.

Historically, Barratts have experienced very few changes in staff and fee earners with many members of staff working at Barratts for 15 years plus. This we feel is testament to the working environment and the relationships built between all members of the team.

Barratts have been firm supporters of a number of charities over the years, particularly those providing support to brain and spinal injured. We continue that support within the local community, in particular Headway Nottingham and Footprints Conductive Education.

We provide pro bono legal advice to many, in particular those who have concerns regarding medical treatment. We frequently assist in advising on the complaints process, drafting complaints and reviewing responses. We are conscious of the additional stress and upset that be caused when trying to navigate what may appear to be complex systems at the same time as dealing with injuries or the loss of a loved one. We regularly provide advice to families in connection with Inquests. We are all too aware of the limited public funding available for representation at Inquests and how important it is for the families to have appropriate support.
