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.

-
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. Visit: Reward & Benefits ¦ Fieldfisher.
-
Modern Office Space: Located at Adelaide Exchange, Belfast City Centre, 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.
