Mills & Reeve also came third in RollOnFriday’s Best Law Firms to Work at earlier this year, with 84% of employees declaring they’re very satisfied.
Owen Butler, recently appointed chief people officer at Mills & Reeve, said: “How happy and fulfilled our people are at Mills & Reeve has been fundamental to our success as a firm. My predecessor Sandy Boyle, the wider HR and learning teams, the partner and leadership groups, and above all our people, should be incredibly proud to be listed again in The Sunday Times’ Best Places to Work. Everyone here contributed to our special culture and so this award is for us all. We remain ambitious, and not complacent, and will strive to improve further as we deliver on our 2030 strategy.”
