Our legal professionals are at the forefront of their sectors and work collaboratively to achieve the best possible outcome for our clients. We are known for our approachability and joined-up thinking as much as our commercial acumen and ability to problem solve. Working together as a team is central to our ethos.
"Michelmores fully supports and encourages a truly agile working environment and this is so valuable to me and my family, enabling me to fulfil my responsibilities both at work and at home."
Jo Spalding, Senior Associate
At Michelmores we offer the perfect balance of being creative and ambitious within a supportive culture, packed with brilliant people who want to help you succeed and thrive.
We’re unashamedly focused on understanding our high-quality clients in their diverse and exciting sectors and helping them to make the most of cutting-edge opportunities in the UK and internationally.
We’re commercial, in the sense that we’re always trying to support our clients to be as successful as possible. We don’t sit on the fence: we’re genuinely trusted advisers. You’ll see that in the way we collaborate too; not just with our clients, but also with each other – you really won’t find a more nurturing, friendly and flexible environment to do your very best work in.
You will get to work on challenging matters alongside brilliant lawyers, giving you the opportunity to innovate, grow and fulfil your ambitions. You will be able to genuinely shape your own career, with more autonomy than you’re probably accustomed to, in a supportive firm where individuals matter.
We value enterprising new ideas, different outlooks, and creativity. We are proud to empower our lawyers to develop inspirational initiatives and innovations, and to keep evolving what we do.
We’re always looking to speak to talented legal professionals who want to join us in creating a positive future for our clients, people and communities.
And when it comes to working patterns, we take a flexible, agile approach. We allow our colleagues and teams to agree on the best working arrangements – to enable everyone to provide exceptional client service, and to collaborate and connect with colleagues while ensuring the right balance for people’s priorities outside of work.
Creating a culture of respect for wellbeing is central to our ethos. As a Firm, we are committed to an environment that promotes positive wellbeing, and in which everyone feels able to talk openly about their mental and physical health and be supported. We work hard to create a working environment in which everyone feels psychologically safe, fully supported, and able to openly talk about personal situations that may be affecting them.
We partner with highly regarded organisations to provide the right benefits, policies, training courses and workshops to help us to create opportunities for our People to prioritise wellbeing.
We want to bring our shared values of mutual support and inclusion into every aspect of work at Michelmores. We understand how much of an impact our relationships at work can have on us so providing opportunities for our People to establish healthy and collaborative connections is part of our commitment to helping everyone at the Firm to feel valued.
We provide expertise and resources to support financial wellbeing and independence; we want our People to have the financial freedom to make choices that allow them to enjoy their lives without needing to worry about day-to-day expenses. Our financial wellbeing benefits range from discount vouchers to help your money go that little bit further or allowing you to claim money back for healthcare treatments through Medicash, to providing insurances to support you and your family through difficult times and a pension scheme to enable you to plan for your retirement.
Our flexible working and family support policies have been written to provide additional assistance for our colleagues when they need it most. We provide enhanced parental leave, family leave support and a family buddy scheme to support the return to work after the birth or adoption of a child; we also have policies that cover fertility, pregnancy loss, domestic violence and premature births.
We believe our people work at their best when given choice about where and how they work. Our approach is based on the assumption that here there is no “one size fits all”. We remain committed to agile working and are constantly looking to improve how we work together.
