Pros
I worked at Lewis Silkin for several years and left with a genuine appreciation for the firm’s people-first culture and professional standards. Colleagues were collaborative and approachable, creating a supportive environment where teamwork and knowledge sharing were encouraged. The firm invested in training and practical tools, which made it easier to deliver high-quality client work and develop new skills. Leadership was visible and pragmatic, setting clear priorities and supporting career development through constructive feedback and mobility opportunities. Work-life balance compared favourably with other firms in the sector; flexible working and understanding managers helped manage peak periods without sustained burnout. Operational processes were well established, enabling efficient event delivery and strong cross-team collaboration with BD, marketing and operations.
Cons
The sandwiches in the cafe were pretty soggy
