Working at Shoosmiths

What sets us apart is our approach to the way we work – our working culture. You will like our open, un-stuffy atmosphere in which you are given the space and the support to thrive.

We work hard, but because of our easy internal communication and a real lack of internal politics, this energy is focused on our clients. That’s what has driven our success so far – and we've had a great time doing it.

You will be in an environment that actively allows you to grow your skills and challenge yourself. You’ll find a refreshing lack of hierarchy, absolutely no pomposity or arrogance – just a recognition that happy, energised individuals are at the heart of our success.

Flexible working – while we expect you to work hard, we don't want work to dominate your life. If you've done what you need to do, there's no 'face-time' at Shoosmiths and we are committed to an ethos of output not occupancy.  

Hybrid working is part of our day to day, allowing employees to combine onsite and offsite work to promote a more flexible and purposeful working experience.

We like to empower people to think where, when, and how to work – with maximum flexibility and minimum constraints – to optimise their performance and deliver an excellent client experience. 

Our responsibility - we are committed to corporate responsibility; it forms part of our business plan, and in turn shapes our strategic goals. We pride ourselves on not being overly hierarchical and pretentious; we want Shoosmiths to be a place where you can be yourself and do your best work - learn more about our approach to diversity & inclusion.
