Emily Wellington – Agricultural And Property Litigation

Trainee Solicitor

“Work-life balance is something that is extremely important to me and is often difficult to achieve working in law - too often it can be seen as a luxury. At JCP Solicitors prioritising a healthy work-life balance is actively encouraged by all members of staff, it really is a normality here! There have been many occasions where I have been encouraged by my colleagues to go home and spend time doing the things I enjoy. This support and encouragement means that I can prioritise keeping fit and active throughout the week, which has been great for my physical and mental well-being. Since joining JCP, I have started running and have completed 2 half-marathons, almost solely training in the evenings after work, and this would not have been possible without the social working hours we have.

I love spending time with my family, exploring the beautiful beaches and countryside South Wales has to offer. We are encouraged to completely switch off when we are on annual leave and at the weekend, and work is spread around the team to make sure that we can all enjoy our time at home. This means that we can come back to work, being fully present and focused on our clients. I feel so lucky to be a part of the supportive and flexible environment we have at #TeamJCP.”
