An innovative practice and the first top 100 law firm to achieve “Gold Standard” Investors in People, our values and culture are not just words on our website but are the heartbeat of the firm. The lack of barriers between departments, a real lack of hierarchy, zero tolerance for arrogance and pomposity makes Shoosmiths a fantastic place to work.

Offering exceptional market knowledge the team holds an outstanding reputation with clients and the market generally. “Clients are full of admiration for this team, noting it combines outstanding technical expertise with a “very” responsive service” (Chambers).

We are keen to speak to solicitors at all levels from 2+PQE to senior associate for opportunities within our impressive London based team experiencing growth. Strong commercial and technical experience in representing clients on a variety of real estate matters is a must, together with a clear desire to take early responsibility.
