Company

Expert Hand.
Human Touch.

At Irwin Mitchell, we pride ourselves in understanding people.

We’re a national law firm with a local reach. Our philosophy is ‘Expert Hand, Human Touch’ and you’ll find that reflected in our working environment.

Working At Irwin Mitchell

If you’re looking for the next step in your career, we’ve got great opportunities here. We’re one of the largest and most respected law firms in the UK, and it’s not just solicitors we’re looking for either, you’ll find all kinds of non-legal business support roles too.

Whichever team you join, working here you’ll feel a part of our friendly and inclusive environment. We support each other and push boundaries to achieve incredible things, and make a real difference to our clients and communities. Whatever your role, you’ll have the chance to develop professionally and have your say.

The work we do has been recognised in the awards we’ve won. We’re committed to being even better, and our awards help to show we’re on the right track.

Our DNA

It’s in our DNA to value people for who they are and what they bring. We’re committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture where our people can flourish and celebrating our differences is a key part of that.

We’re proud of our work on the Disability Confident scheme, on the Race At Work Charter and as Stonewall Diversity Champions. We also have a range of networks for LGBT+, disability, generations, gender, social mobility, ethnicity, faith and culture to celebrate our people and to enable everyone to thrive.

Flexible by Choice

We recognise that the office 9-5 isn’t for everyone. That’s why we’ve introduced ‘Flexible by Choice’.

Whether it’s working from home, in our offices, or a combination of the both, we trust each other to support our clients, colleagues and communities at the right time, in the right way.

Our Community

We also offer a huge number of well-being initiatives to encourage positive mental health both in and out of the workplace as well as flexible working options to ensure that you are fully supported to work the way that best suits you. Our social responsibility programme is fundamental to who we are.

The Human Touch That Matters To You

In September 2019 we launched our human touch campaign. It focused on the emotional transitions our clients go through and the role our colleagues play in supporting them when they need more than just expertise. We wanted to create a marketing campaign that dared to be different and we believe that it was made by the most inclusive production team ever. It’s the perfect example of our three strategic pillars coming together and Life at Irwin Mitchell is a continuation of this, which reinforces why our culture is truly unique.

We sat down with people from different backgrounds and with different experiences to find out what it’s really like to work here.

They spoke openly and honestly about their careers, their clients and the human touch that matters to them. You can watch all our stories on one playlist by clicking on the video, or you can read our case studies on our careers website.
