addleshaw goddard's good name at risk
Addleshaw Goddard’s most precious asset is their good name but unfortunately due to their Leeds based legal team they are gradually starting to lose it, thanks to this site and many others spead around the Internet. This is mainly due to their Leeds based law firm's failed application at trial for the court to order their removal. However more recently, the shortsightedness of the four partners above seem to think that profit is more important than one’s good name has triggered the 85 year old into publishing even more factually based networks publicising Addleshaw Goddard's unlawful shortcomings.
Managing Partner, Andrew Johnston recently stated “Thank you to everyone at AG for the hard work, dedication and expertise that define our firm”. Clearly he wasn’t aware at that juncture just how far down the slippery slope the fall from grace was going to be. It is probably the first time in his law firm’s illustrious history that an 85 year old litigant has absolutely trounced them in court. It was also particularly galling for their client, publically quoted company Daniel Thwaites Plc because its directors and main shareholders the Yerburgh family could never have imagined in their worst nightmares that such an eminent law firm would lose so spectacularly in the said circumstances.
In August 2023 Addleshaw Goddard agreed to represent Daniel Thwaites Plc the claimant against Web4orce Limited the defendant a one man company that was represented by their only employee John Duggan an 85 year old litigant in person, simply because this one man company could not afford the likes of Addleshaw Goddard's extortionate costs.
At the outset the claimant’s main witness Richard Bailey lied a couple of times on oath in his first statement of truth. The defendant’s only witness John Duggan challenged both lies in his first statement of truth and the claimant’s main witness in his second statement of truth admitted he lied once but took great exception to the second allegation.
From that point on things went downhill for the claimant and when it eventually went to trial in November 2024 the claim was dismissed. However that wasn’t the only bad news for the claimant as it later transpired their law firm, Addleshaw Goddard had incriminated themselves in pre-trial events and what’s even worse their lawyers were also in abuse of process on more than one occasion.

I would not recommend Addleshaw Goddard
Pros - A lot of opportunities if you play the game right for good work. Most people are lethargic due to being overworked and stressed, therefore there is great opportunities to navigate as many people aren't fighting for anything anymore
Cons - The upper management is a clique, they do not care the least bit about their trainees or associates. They could not care any less for encouraging and advancing.

Worst experience of my career.
Pros - Nice offices and friendly support staff
Cons - Worst experience of my career to date and I consider myself a robust/resilient person. Egotistical partners who lack the ability to forward plan for resources and take it out on their staff. Uninspiring work. Disgruntled staff. Take a course on leadership and people management.

Very unpleasant place to work.
Pros - Nice office, good equipment some of the IT co-workers are really great people
Cons - Bullying, finger-pointing and failure is entrenched in the entire culture of Business Services. Anybody with talent or ambition has left, leaving very little behind to bring about the changes required in the firm. People here are either very unhappy and looking to leave or serial under performers.

Addleshaw Goddard badly run
Pros - Does have nice people but they all seem to be leaving
Cons - Becoming a toxic place to work. Used to be flat structured across business services but now very hierarchical and just unpleasant. Passive aggressive HR clearly not there to support employees just management.
