Who We Are

Irwin Mitchell is a leading UK law firm and trusted financial advisor, working nationally and internationally through the First Law International network. Our focus is on understanding people and businesses, listening carefully to what matters most, and delivering advice that combines technical excellence with genuine care. We call this “the expert hand with a human touch.” Beyond our clients, we are committed to supporting colleagues and communities, reflecting our belief that law should serve both society and individuals.

What We Do

We provide a full range of legal and financial services designed to give you clarity, confidence, and peace of mind.
For personal matters, our specialists can help with life’s milestones and challenges — from buying a home, planning retirement, or securing your children’s future, to navigating difficult times such as accidents, medical errors, or disputes over wills. We also offer practical solutions, such as wills, powers of attorney, and tailored financial planning, to protect your future.
For business clients, we act as strategic partners, not just problem‑solvers. Our lawyers combine sector expertise with commercially‑minded advice, working alongside your teams to deliver integrated solutions that align with your goals. As the UK partner of First Law International, we also connect you to world‑class legal support across the globe.

Our History

Founded in Sheffield in 1912 by Walter Irwin Mitchell, the firm quickly built a reputation for handling complex and high‑profile cases. Over the decades, we expanded across the UK, opening offices in Birmingham, Leeds, London, Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow, and the South of England. Today, Irwin Mitchell is recognised as the UK’s largest full‑service law firm, with leading private client and business departments, as well as a respected wealth management service that has supported thousands of clients in managing compensation settlements.
Independent legal directories have consistently ranked our work, and we have received numerous awards for quality and innovation. In 2019, we achieved Superbrand status, joining household names such as British Airways, eBay, and LEGO — a reflection of our enduring reputation for excellence.
