Who are we looking for?
We don’t have a type. We believe our differences are our strength; varied cultures, approaches and experience can only benefit us.
What do we offer?
You can be yourself: It takes everyone to make us who we are. We’re a culture of diverse perspectives, with each of us making unique contributions that make us better together.
In the office or WFH?: We think the best balance is more time in the office than at home, so we operate a 60:40 rule.
Beyond salary: We offer plenty of benefits; private medical insurance, health cash plan, dental insurance, life assurance, critical illness insurance, matched pension contributions up to 7%, holiday trading, plus many more. Visit: Reward & Benefits ¦ Fieldfisher.

Inclusion is not exclusive:
