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.
Communications are strong and people feel they are kept up to date on any developments. Whilst people have largely returned to office based working, the firm has always been flexible in helping people meet work and home life balance needs and requests to work from home.

Learning and development continues to be a strength of the firm. People continue to be developed to positions of greater responsibility in the firm, coaching and knowledge sharing is excellent, and achievement of relevant qualifications is supported.

Smith Partnership has a very effective, modern management structure that is flat and streamlined. The partners lead by example, and are very open and approachable.

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.
