Life at Minster Law

We’re not your traditional law firm and we take pride in the fact we do things differently. We look forwards, not backwards, because we know that the traditional ways of working don’t work for everyone. We challenge every assumption as we work to reimagine every aspect of legal services.

We choose the smart way over the standard way, drawing on years of experience, whilst embracing the latest trends, to keep moving forward. This applies as much to our people as it does to our customers. We harness skills from all industries, not just the legal sector, to allow us to create a team with the ability to deliver at a market-leading level – and it’s precisely this type of diversity of skills, thought, people, and backgrounds that make our business what it is.

We boast some of the largest legal teams in the UK, plus in-house IT, Marketing, HR, Finance, Compliance and Learning and Development teams, so there’s opportunity for everyone at Minster Law no matter your career background.

Workplace & Culture

Everyone is welcome at Minster Law, regardless of their background and differences, and we believe our diversity is what makes Minster such a great place to work. Our dedicated ED&I committee exists to ensure we have a workplace that creates a sense of belonging for everyone and is driven by a commitment to creating a culture where people feel involved, respected, valued and can be their authentic selves. We have accessible facilities and are proud to be an equal opportunities employer.

Hear from the Team

I remember being inspired by the individual journeys of previous Minster Law trainees when I was applying for the role, being in awe of the very different paths they carved through training and qualification and wanting to travel along the same journey of development and self-discovery. I am delighted that I am able to do just that, in a role that is unique to me and my skillset and interests.

Daniel Bates

Associate Solicitor
The solicitor apprenticeship offers a far more hands-on and practical approach to legal education. While my university studies provided me with a strong theoretical foundation, the apprenticeship has equipped me with the skills necessary to apply that knowledge in practice.
