Schillings has been a ‘game-changing’ firm since 1984. Founded by Keith Schilling, the firm specialised in privacy and defamation disputes, taking on seemingly untouchable cases and passionately fighting for clients against all odds.
From obtaining a rare summary judgement to overturning a libel jury’s award; or securing the decade’s biggest libel apology and winning a case that established privacy law in the UK, Schillings has always challenged the status quo.
Today, the firm has broadened its expertise from the top-ranked defamation, reputation, and privacy legal team to include an award-winning intelligence and investigation practice, a digital communications division and innovative cyber security, critical risk, and advisory team.
Schillings is the only business in the world to deploy lawyers, in-house intelligence experts, investigators, cyber specialists, risk consultants, and top people from the military and government – who all operate together under one roof to provide a holistic solution.
As such, the firm is truly unique and powerful – and being regulated, it applies evidential standards to all the work it undertakes.
The complex work around privacy, reputation, security issues, a diverse client base and the fast-paced nature of crisis response make Schillings a rewarding place to work. It’s a place where employees are encouraged to be bold and innovative and provide genuine opportunities for progression.

Schillings listens to its employees and has teams called Partner Engagement Teams. These are small teams of ten people, led by a partner. These teams are cross discipline and a mix of grades and roles. They provide the firm with a 2-way feedback loop and allow them to address and consult new ideas and changes.

Participating in the Best Companies survey is important to me because it allows us to benchmark ourselves against a large group of diverse companies, who by virtue of taking part, are typically high performers when it comes to employee satisfaction and engagement. Schillings is a dynamic, high performing and ambitious business – the survey helps us to continually strive to improve the experience our employees have and make us an even better place to work.
