At Mishcon de Reya our trainee lawyers are the future of the firm. So we need bold individuals, shapers, who can revolutionise the way we work. We keep our intake small so that you take on a high level of responsibility from day one. Responsibility to shape your career, shape the future of the firm, and shape the future of law.
We want you to grow with our business by building and shaping your own. The size of the intake means you will have client responsibilities and opportunities to stand on your own two feet early on to produce client work, engage with clients, and establish and grow your own portfolio sooner at Mishcon.
Our practice areas range from art to sports to working with emerging companies; a breadth you won't find elsewhere. We act in some of the most high-profile and ground-breaking cases in the industry. The wide range of issues we are involved with means we have a broad client base, giving you the opportunity to work on some of the most complicated, challenging and exciting legal issues.
Our own centre of in-house learning and new thinking, The Academy, creates over 300 new courses each term, to help you up-skill and develop your interests. Our Digital Sessions examine some of the biggest issues that face society today through interviews with famous figures in culture, business and politics. The interviews are suggested by and hosted by Mishcon people, with recent guests including Caroline Lucas, Mel B, Rory Stewart and Jodie Foster. So one day you could get to interview your hero.
Our continuous drive to deliver the highest quality legal services has a new ally, technology. By embracing AI, investing in start-ups, developing our incubator programme (MDR Lab) and creating our own range of cutting-edge legal tools, we re-affirm our intention to boldly go where no law firm has gone before.
We think that you’ll benefit most from working with a team that is diverse and happy. That’s why we encourage our people to be themselves and bring their own special talents.
There’s no such thing as ‘a Mishcon kind of person’. How we behave and treat one another has always been as important to us as the results we achieve.
The firm has made substantial investments in supporting founders, tech-driven businesses, and the broader innovation economy. Our strategy includes developing the MDR Innovation Hub, expanding lawtech capabilities, and advising high-growth, venture-backed businesses – areas where technical expertise and data-driven problem solving are key assets.
Our core practice areas increasingly intersect with intellectual property, deep tech, AI, and regulatory challenges, making STEM literacy a critical resource for legal teams. With the opportunity to work alongside in-house patent attorneys, Mishcon is the perfect firm for STEM students to start their career.
Unsure on which route to take to becoming a solicitor? At Mishcon we support both training contracts and the solicitor apprenticeships. Both routes will lead you to becoming a qualified solicitor.
