More About Irwin Mitchell

About the firm
Founded in 1912, we have grown from strength to strength and today employ more than 2300 people through our office network of major cities within the UK and our two offices in Spain.

Irwin Mitchell Solicitors has grown both organically and through a number of strategic mergers with firms and organisations in tune with our values and culture.

We are the largest full service law firm within the UK with our services divided into two main categories; legal services for individuals and those for businesses, institutions and organisations.

As well as being recognised as the leading national personal injury firm in the UK, we have also developed a reputation for the delivery of strong commercial services that add real value to businesses, institutions and organisations. Over the last 5 years the firm has enjoyed substantial growth as its business strategies have reaped rewards.

Graduate role
During your training contract you will be given as much responsibility as you can handle, giving you a real exposure to the legal environment, working with your colleagues to develop your legal and client relationships. From the start of your training contract, you will work on live files with direct contact with clients and other solicitors. Your development will be encouraged through frequent reviews and feedback, to ensure that you keep on track and qualify as well rounded solicitor.
