People perspectives
Read about some of the experiences of people who work with us here at Mills & Reeve.
Real responsibility from day one
Deciding you want to start a training contract or solicitor apprenticeship has probably been a big decision and involved lots of hard work. Of course, you want all the usual benefits that come with working for a top-rated law firm but you also want to know what you'll really be doing.
At Mills & Reeve, we want you to experience what it's like at the deep end. What does it mean to “do client work”, not just assisting, but in some cases, running your own files and creating relationships with clients that will last throughout your career?
You've worked hard to get to this point and we know that you'll be champing at the bit to do some real work.
Our clients demand responsive, attentive lawyers that offer pragmatic and commercial advice. Put simply, we'll teach you how to become that lawyer!
We welcome you as an individual and treat you as an integral part of the team from day one.
Quality supervision
We've been awarded Platinum Investors in People status, and our lawyers are some of the best in the business. The quality of our training and supervision means we're able to give you real responsibility from the beginning, but can also provide a supportive environment where you can learn from real experts.
Our lawyers rank in the top echelons of both Chambers and The Legal 500 and you'll get to work alongside them on matters that will expand your experience.
You'll get to work with all types of clients both nationally and internationally. You’ll advise high net worth individuals, PLCs and everything in between.
Our culture
Our latest staff survey revealed that 99% of our people think you should work here! What more can we really say? Our culture is renowned and our Platinum Investors in People ranking proves that we don’t just say it, but also live it. Of course, you'll be expected to work hard, but you'll be surrounded by people who love their work and respect their colleagues.
And as part of our ongoing commitment to be a truly great employer, we monitor diversity levels throughout the firm to ensure we’re equal and open in our recruitment and promotions. If we find barriers we can remove, we do. For instance, we encourage flexible working to ensure we adapt to different lifestyles and offer annual leave for religious festivals such as Eid, Christmas and Ramadan. We provide training on diversity and inclusion matters and our Diversity and Inclusion Steering Group encourages and oversees a range of initiatives across the firm. Read more here.
We're ambitious for ourselves, but more importantly, for our people. We believe that a happy, motivated and aspirational workforce means happier and more successful client relationships.
We go beyond the law and pro bono work is an everyday part of our culture. You'll receive a day of paid leave every year to support local community charities.
