At Shoosmiths, innovation isn’t a buzzword. It’s how we work

We design solutions that solve real problems—before they surface. From AI-powered tools to smarter workflows, we build with purpose: to help clients move faster, act with confidence, and stay ahead.

Our approach is practical, scalable, and rooted in deep legal expertise. But it’s also shaped by how our clients operate—because understanding your business is what makes our advice sharper, clearer, and easier to act on.

We don’t chase trends. We deliver results. That’s why the Financial Times ranks us among the UK’s top ten most innovative law firms. And why we continue to invest in the ideas, tools and people that are reshaping legal services.

We’ve won Law Firm of the Year and TMT Team of the Year for a reason. Our innovation isn’t just recognised—it’s rewarded.

Innovation for us isn’t about novelty. It’s about outcomes. It’s about building better ways to work, together.

INNOVATION in action
Since launching in 2021, it’s helped businesses like Next and Deliveroo reduce review time by up to five hours per contract, cutting typical external legal costs by 80%. One client used it to analyse 150+ contracts in record time, saving months of manual work and unlocking insights that supported smarter decisions.
