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 partners and managers lead by example and teamworking and communications are strong, aiming at providing the best possible service to clients. People feel valued and appreciated and encouraged to come up with ideas for development.

Smith Partnership is a great company to work for. I feel every member of staff, whatever their position within the firm, is approachable and welcoming. I have been with the firm less than 6 months and already feel like a valued member of my team and the company as a whole. My role has given me some great opportunities so far and I feel that will continue. Added to that, we are lucky enough to work in a clean, modern office right in the heart of the city centre.

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.
