Who are we looking for?

We don't have a type. We believe our differences are our strength; varied cultures, approaches and experience can only benefit us.

What do we offer?

You can be yourself: It takes everyone to make us who we are. We’re a culture of diverse perspectives, with each of us making unique contributions that make us better together.
In the office or WFH? We think the best balance is more time in the office than at home, so we operate a 60:40 rule.
Beyond salary: We offer plenty of benefits; private medical insurance, health cash plan, dental insurance, life assurance, critical illness insurance, matched pension contributions up to 7%, holiday trading, plus many more.
Modern Office Space: Located in the iconic Titanic Quarter with excellent commuter links and parking nearby.
Nurturing your talent: Take a 'build a career' approach to your training. You'll be on a pathway but free to wander if you see something you'd like to study more closely.
Funnel your interests: You have a life outside work, and we can help it to flourish. Join clubs, affinity networks, inclusive events, and pro bono/charity initiatives.

Inclusion is not exclusive:

If all our differences are highlighted, no one stands out for being different. At Fieldfisher, all our rich diversity is celebrated.

We will provide the equipment to allow you to shine, at interview and beyond. Just let us know what you need.

What to do next:

Click 'Apply Now', complete an online application and upload a CV.
Successful applications will be invited to a 20–30‑minute introductory call with a recruiter.
Every role recruits differently. But we'll always let you know what to expect from the process, so you get no surprises.
For hybrid opportunities, you'll be invited to visit our offices for a face‑to‑face meeting.
We try to make sure the process takes around 2–3 weeks only, but we can't always promise that. We will work around everyone's availability. You can contact us at recruitmenthr@fieldfisher.com.

We recruit on a rolling basis. Your application may be reviewed before the application deadline. We accept applications until we have filled the role.
