Insight evenings: Your inside look

Join us for events that go beyond the website. Meet the people behind the name, ask what you really want to know and find out if Shoosmiths feels like your future

See if our story speaks to you.

Shoosmiths insight evenings are more than just a peek behind the curtain: they're your chance to experience our culture, meet the people who shape it, and ask the questions that matter to you.

These evenings are designed to give you real insight into what life at Shoosmiths is like, from the work we do to the values we live by.

"There was something about the way people spoke, with honesty, and with care, that made me stop and think: this could be the place."
,
Insight Evening Attendee
Meet our people, explore our culture.

Join us for an honest, unscripted look at life at Shoosmiths. You'll hear directly from our trainees, associates, and partners as they share their personal journeys, challenges, and what truly sets us apart. This is a real insight into a culture where people are trusted, supported, and encouraged to grow.

You'll discover how our values come to life in everything we do, from advancing social mobility and sustainability to building meaningful relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

Wondering what we're really like on a Monday morning? Curious about career paths, applications, or what we look for in future trainees (hint: it's not just about grades)? Ask anything - this is your space.

Because choosing a law firm isn't just about prestige or practice areas. It's about people, purpose and your potential. Insight events are your chance to see all of that in action and to find out whether we're the one for you.
