Mills & Reeve system for employees.
At Mills & Reeve, we believe that growth is unique to each person. That’s why our Empower programme is designed to meet you where you are—whether you're just starting out or have some higher education already under your belt.
Empower is about building a future together. We believe learning is most powerful when shared, and our programme fosters connections across the firm.
We have a deliberately developmental culture that’s inclusive, high-performing, and collaborative. You’ll work in diverse teams that challenge and support you, with opportunities to connect across departments and offices. From cohort-wide training to small group workshops, every experience encourages reflection, problem-solving, and commercial thinking.
Our clients are at the heart of everything we do. We’ll support you to become a trusted advisor early on, with the guidance you need to succeed.
Empower puts you in control of your development. You’ll adopt a mindset of continuous improvement that'll serve you throughout your career. Whether exploring new areas of law or deepening your expertise, Empower gives you the tools, confidence, and community to thrive.
Our values guide us in everything we do. Empower supports talented individuals to shine, grounded in the values that shape our unique culture.
Empower is a launchpad to a bold, impactful career.
Your voice matters. The path is yours to shape.
You're supported as a whole person, not just a legal technician.
Growth happens together, not in isolation.
Empower is flexible around your goals, pace, and interests. Behind every learning opportunity is a clear philosophy: we grow best when supported, challenged, and connected.
Empower ensures every touchpoint—whether a workshop, secondment, or mentoring session—delivers real value. You’ll benefit from a structured framework that combines personalisation with purpose, giving you the confidence to explore, the tools to grow, and the clarity to move forward.

Your first experience will be an inclusive and immersive multi-day off-site induction at the Møller Institute, where all new apprentices and trainees get to know each other as one cohort and start building the knowledge and skills needed to set themselves up for success at Mills & Reeve.
Everything you do across the entire programme will align with the core competencies of self-leadership, client service, business development, business management, technical excellence, legal technology, and career management.
Structured mentoring relationships and informal peer support networks underpin a culture where knowledge-sharing and guidance are part of everyday practice.
Some skills develop gradually, while others are best honed in dynamic, collaborative workshops. Our intensive programmes, such as the collaboration challenge and matter management bootcamp are designed to challenge, push, and support in a safe environment, helping you master new skills essential for your role as a Mills & Reeve lawyer.
Secondments, when they come up, allow you to work directly with clients within their organisation, gaining valuable insights into their business and strengthening relationships to trusted-advisor status.
Start your legal career with an exceptional, award-winning firm, where you're treated as an individual and part of the team from day one.
Our six-year solicitor apprenticeship blends practical legal work with academic studies.
