About us

Except it isn’t really about us. It’s about you.

illustration for About us

Achieve more. Together.

We’re a law firm that believes that by building connections with our clients, our people and the communities we work in, we can do great things. We call that "Achieve more. Together."

Whether you think of it as a mantra, a mission or simply words to live by, "Achieve more. Together." is our way of articulating our purpose.

It’s a state of mind in every client relationship we start and every choice we make. And we want it to come through in everything we do for you, from the moment you decide to work with us.

We want to offer you more than just legal expertise. So together we’ll build a personal and supportive partnership with you – one that’s trusted and tailored to your needs.

How we'll work with you on a personal level

Yes, Mills & Reeve is a law firm. But we offer much more than just legal know-how. Like a deep understanding of the issues your business faces, based on solid sector and market expertise.

How we'll help your organisation succeed

We want to be an integral part of the communities we work in, provide a place where our people can thrive, and lessen our impact on the planet in any way we can.

How we're driving responsible business

Our mantra shows our belief in the importance of genuine partnerships. Partnerships with you, colleagues, other professionals and legal organisations, and the communities we work in.

What this means for our clients

Did we mention that we’re award-winning?

When we help you achieve more, we achieve more too. That’s why our trophy cabinet looks pretty healthy – even if we do say so ourselves. It currently includes:

  • Platinum in Investors in People status, awarded in 2023

  • Being named named in The Sunday Times Best Places to Work list as one of the best big organisations

  • Being named as one of the top law firms in the UK for nine years running in RollOnFriday’s best law firms to work at (winning in 2018, 2019 and 2020)

  • Being ranked in The Financial Times' Innovative Lawyers: Europe list. 

  • And in our latest staff survey, 99% of our people said they’d recommend us as a good place to work (we’re working on the other 1%).
