At Irwin Mitchell, we pride ourselves in understanding people. We understand that everybody’s situation is different, be it business or personal. Whatever happens, if you need legal advice or support with your financial planning, we’re here. We’ll listen, get to know you and your situation, and give you all the advice you need. Along with our colleagues and our communities, our clients make us who we are. That’s why we’re proud to feature five of our clients on our latest TV ads, telling their stories of how we helped them through life’s ups and downs.

We’re legal and financial advisors with a difference, based in offices across the UK and with an international presence as members of First Law International. Giving the best possible advice is about more than knowledge and expertise. It means understanding the people and businesses you work with as deeply as possible. It means taking the time to listen to what matters most to them. We’re a full-service law firm, which means whatever advice you need or problem you have, we can help.

It can help us through some of our key milestones – buying a house, getting married, planning retirement, providing for your kids’ future, or moving to a new country. But it’s also vital when things don’t go according to plan – if you’re hurt in an accident, a medical procedure goes wrong, a loved one loses mental capacity, or you’re treated unfairly by work or the government. It could also be a difficult family matter such as a separation or a dispute over a will.
