In terms of what we have to offer you, our size is a definite plus: big enough to be interesting, not so vast that you will ever feel like a cog in a bureaucratic machine. If you want responsibility, freedom to act on your own initiative and a chance to build strong relationships with clients, Lewis Silkin will be a perfect fit.

But, as you will know if you have browsed around this site, what really sets this firm apart is something less tangible; personality, culture, call it what you will. Lewis Silkin really is a more relaxed, more congenial place than most big law firms. That doesn't mean, of course, that we don't work hard. We do. But we are not workaholics: we genuinely believe that a lawyer with a life outside work is a better lawyer. We treat each other with respect but no great formality. We have, as they say, a laugh.

Benefits

We probably should say something here about competitive salaries, excellent benefits, subsidised gym membership, opportunities to play softball with your colleagues, etc. But life is short, so lets leave all that until we meet.
