Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Irwin Mitchell to a friend?

Yes

Why?

I couldn't think of a better company to work for, leaving college and not doing 'the norm' despite others around me taking different routes, was very daunting, and I often wondered if I had done the right thing. However, after lots of hard work when I was lucky enough to be offered a place at Irwin Mitchell I knew I had done the right thing - I would say it's one of my biggest achievements so far.
