Special Recognition For Firm Being One Of UK’s Best Workplaces Five Consecutive Years

The publication of the best places to work in the UK by the Great Place To Work Institute has seen Irwin Mitchell ranked in the best places to work list for 2024.

Conceived by the Great Place To Work Institute, the UK’s Best Workplaces Rankings are determined by anonymous surveys of employees, which allow the consultancy to discover the real views of staff when it comes to the places where they work.

For 30 years, Great Place to Work has been the world’s leading authority on workplace culture. Irwin Mitchell has consistently featured in the top 25 firms in the super large category, the only law firm to rank so high. The firm was placed 24^th and received special recognition this year for being one of the UK’s Best Workplaces five years’ running.

The firm has continued to make improvements to its working practices in pursuit of staff wellbeing, which includes its ‘flexible by choice’ initiative, allowing colleagues to work flexibly, subject to client and business need; plus improving diversity and inclusion and an emphasis on improving work/life balance for all employees.
