Sheffield, United Kingdom Irwin Mitchell Full time

We’re a national law firm with a local reach. Our philosophy is ‘Expert Hand, Human Touch’ - something you’ll find in the way we work with our clients and how we support our teams. But, we’re more than just a law firm - we’re a team, working together to help individuals and businesses navigate life’s ups and downs.

Whichever team you join, working here you’ll feel a part of our friendly and inclusive environment. We’ll value you for who you are and what you bring. We support each other and push boundaries to achieve incredible things, and make a real difference to our clients and communities.

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.
