The Department

Mishcon has experienced a huge amount of growth in recent years and our success shows no sign of stopping. We're currently ranked 30th Best Company to Work for in the Sunday Times Top 100 (having featured in this list for the past ten years), we have doubled in size in the last five years and are lucky enough to retain a really strong, values-based culture. Our Technology team also continues to go from strength to strength and we are involved in some incredibly exciting and innovative initiatives across the firm. Rather than being considered a necessary support function, our Technology department is an integral part of the strategy of the firm and this is reflected both by the level of Tech investment and how Technology initiatives are discussed at the most senior level. Technology features heavily in Mishcon's 10 year vision and the level of innovation and the investment the firm places in technology has led to us winning numerous awards, including FT "Innovation in the business of law" and LegalWeek "Best use of technology" in 2017.
