Creating a culture of respect for wellbeing is central to our ethos. As a Firm, we are committed to an environment that promotes positive wellbeing, and in which everyone feels able to talk openly about their mental and physical health and be supported. We work hard to create a working environment in which everyone feels psychologically safe, fully supported, and able to openly talk about personal situations that may be affecting them.
We partner with highly regarded organisations to provide the right benefits, policies, training courses and workshops to help us to create opportunities for our People to prioritise wellbeing.
We want to bring our shared values of mutual support and inclusion into every aspect of work at Michelmores. We understand how much of an impact our relationships at work can have on us so providing opportunities for our People to establish healthy and collaborative connections is part of our commitment to helping everyone at the Firm to feel valued.
We provide expertise and resources to support financial wellbeing and independence; we want our People to have the financial freedom to make choices that allow them to enjoy their lives without needing to worry about day-to-day expenses. Our financial wellbeing benefits range from discount vouchers to help your money go that little bit further or allowing you to claim money back for healthcare treatments through Medicash, to providing insurances to support you and your family through difficult times and a pension scheme to enable you to plan for your retirement.
Our flexible working and family support policies have been written to provide additional assistance for our colleagues when they need it most. We provide enhanced parental leave, family leave support and a family buddy scheme to support the return to work after the birth or adoption of a child; we also have policies that cover fertility, pregnancy loss, domestic violence and premature births.
A friendly team who have provided a great learning experience with opportunities to get involved in high quality work.

At Michelmores we are committed to supporting colleagues to reach their full potential and to thrive. We believe in treating people as individuals, tailoring their development needs so one size fits one and encouraging our people to develop in areas that excite them or make them different. That is how we nurture the brightest and best lawyers.
Our Trainee Development Programme is designed to develop you into a trusted adviser who understands commercial challenges and opportunities, rather than one who just knows the law.
Our Trainees are given high value and meaningful learning opportunities from the very start of their training contract with the Firm. Our tailored development programme has been specifically designed to build the key skills our Trainees will need to flourish and to be part of a truly collaborative team. Alongside this, all Trainees embark on a Professional Skills Course (PSC) to help them to master the legal knowledge they will need for the rest of their career. Throughout the two-years, our Trainees benefit from workshops targeted at Business Development, Personal Impact and networking, and are fully supported to make the very most of the knowledge they have gained as they progress through their seat rotations. You will also be enrolled on to the Leading Minds Trainee Resilience Programme which equips our Trainees to deal with key health and performance challenges as well as self-management, emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills.
Alongside more formal learning, we offer opportunities to come together with colleagues from across the business for workshops as well as sector-specific knowledge sessions. These opportunities enable us all to build strong connections, share experiences, and collaborate through learning.
We believe our people work at their best when given choice about where and how they work. Our approach is based on the assumption that here there is no “one size fits all”. We remain committed to agile working and are constantly looking to improve how we work together.
