With our progressive culture and supportive teams, Smith Partnership is a great place to work. Add to this the fact that we are a leading law firm dealing with a wide range of diverse, complex and interesting cases and joining us becomes even more appealing.
Our 200 staff are employed across our East Midlands offices, with the most at our Derby head office. We pride ourselves on our straight-forward, jargon free approach when dealing with clients and their cases and this approach also defines our workplace culture which is welcoming, friendly and committed to excellence. We have been recognised for our commitment to developing and supporting our staff. In fact, from the initial induction into the business, every member of staff embarks on a personal development plan with the aim of helping them to reach their full potential.
With plenty of opportunity for growth, Smith Partnership is an exciting and dynamic place to work.
The firm continues to recruit local young people, often via apprenticeship schemes and supporting them to achieve relevant qualifications and long-term careers with the firm.

Communications continue to work well, and people are kept well informed on business developments and those interviewed find line managers and senior management to be very responsive to any queries.

While we appreciate that workplace experience is the best way to kick-start your career, regrettably due to data protection and client confidentially, something we take very seriously, we are unable to offer any form of work experience, vacation schemes, seasonal or voluntary placements at any of our offices.
