We are delighted to have received the Great Place To Work Certification™ 2025 by Great Place To Work® for the second year in a row. This globally recognised accreditation is awarded through a rigorous, independent assessment of employee feedback, recognising organisations that foster trust, fairness, respect and camaraderie in the workplace.
This Certification™ provides independent validation of our culture and the everyday experience of working at the firm. As the only European Intellectual Property firm in the UK to achieve this recognition for the second consecutive year, it reflects our ongoing commitment to building an inclusive, supportive environment where people feel valued and able to do their best work.

“Being recognised as a Great Place To Work™ for a second year is a meaningful endorsement of the progress we continue to make as a firm. It reflects not only the culture we’ve built, but our commitment to listening to our people and improving the experience of working at Mewburn Ellis year on year.
We see this recognition as both a validation and a motivation. Our people are at the heart of everything we do, and over the past year we’ve continued to invest in wellbeing, inclusivity and development in ways that genuinely make a difference. To see that reflected in improved feedback from across the firm is something we’re incredibly proud of.”
