"There was something about the way people spoke, with honesty, and with care, that made me stop and think: this could be the place.", Insight Evening Attendee

Meet our people, explore our culture.

Join us for an honest, unscripted look at life at Shoosmiths. You’ll hear directly from our trainees, associates, and partners as they share their personal journeys, challenges, and what truly sets us apart. This is a real insight into a culture where people are trusted, supported, and encouraged to grow.

You’ll discover how our values come to life in everything we do, from advancing social mobility and sustainability to building meaningful relationships with clients and colleagues alike.

Wondering what we’re really like on a Monday morning? Curious about career paths, applications, or what we look for in future trainees (hint: it’s not just about grades)? Ask anything - this is your space.

Because choosing a law firm isn’t just about prestige or practice areas. It’s about people, purpose and your potential. Insight events are your chance to see all of that in action and to find out whether we're the one for you.
