Overview

CFG Life

CFG Life is all about who we are and how we work. At the core is teamwork and how we all work towards the same goal and purpose of helping all those affected by injury - together.

It encompasses how we work together as colleagues, how we work together with clients and how we work together with our partners and suppliers.

And not only that, it's about all the other things that make CFG such a great place to work, from our cultures and values to our social and charity events and everything in between.

“The people, the supportive environment and the positive way the business has embraced flexibility.”

“Transparency from our senior leaders, a real sense of common purpose, and a willingness to help each other and our clients.”

Why join us

What sets us apart

Helping injured people

Our caseloads are kept smaller than a lot of other firms, meaning we focus more time and energy on each claim, without compromising on our service. We relentlessly pursue claims for our clients, but our support goes much deeper.

Hybrid working

Colleagues have improved their work-life balance and flexible working makes this sustainable. Colleagues have the autonomy and flexibility to work in a way that’s best for them and the business from both home and office which supports our future growth plans.

Career progression

Our commitment to investing in learning and development support for everyone commences from day one. We support your career ambitions and develop your skills and expertise.

Colleague wellbeing

Our colleague’s wellbeing is a priority, so we’ve developed a holistic approach focusing on colleague’s mental, financial, physical and social wellness. We understand the importance and benefits for all our colleagues in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and work-life balance and promote this through CFG Life. Our Wellbeing Champions, Wellbeing Hub and regular check-ins are just some of the ways we care for and support our colleagues.

Working together

Inclusivity

Our purpose and values create a culture which aims to achieve the best working environment possible. We’re working with the Disability Confident campaign and have identified actions that we can take to ensure we continue to be an inclusive employer. We’ve embraced the SRA’s new route to qualification and have developed an SQE programme to make becoming a lawyer more accessible and inclusive for candidates. We’ve also expanded our family friendly policies by enhancing maternity, paternity and adoption leave and further supporting colleagues through the menopause and fertility challenges.
