UK-based law firm advising on corporate, M&A, and real estate matters
Shoosmiths is a 1,001–5,000-person law partnership headquartered in London with offices across the UK and Brussels. The firm is mid-way through a Microsoft-native infrastructure transformation: adopting Microsoft Fabric and SAP RISE while migrating off SAP BW, modernizing legacy systems built on SQL Server and iManage. Hiring remains legal-focused (42 roles), but engineering and data roles signal ongoing platform modernization and process automation—consistent with their stated priority around streamlining operations and managing high-stakes matters at scale.
