The firm Bates Wells is a professional services firm, combining a legal practice with consultancy services in impact measurement, outcomes based planning and strategy, and financial services regulatory compliance. The firm works with a wide range of clients, large and small, across a variety of sectors – from established businesses, charities and social enterprises and public bodies to innovative start-ups and high-profile individuals. We stand out as a law firm – combining practical, commercial legal expertise with the deep understanding of the third sector that comes from working with more charities and social enterprises than any other UK firm. We are not only recognised as the leading charity law firm in the UK; we are also ranked in the major UK legal directories for our excellence across many of our specialist practice areas. We are proud to be the first UK law firm to achieve B corporation certification. Types of work Advertising and marketing, brand and reputation management, charity, competition law, corporate and commercial, dispute resolution and litigation, electoral and political activities, employment, fraud prevention and cure, IT and outsourcing, immigration, insolvency, intellectual property, legacies, trusts and probate disputes, media disputes, patents, public and regulatory law, real estate, real estate disputes, safeguarding, social finance, trademarks, advisory and impact. Who should apply Bates Wells is a City law firm with a difference. We’re looking for trainees who are genuinely excited to join a smaller firm that’s driven by its values, where making a positive impact is as important as making a profit. If a magic circle environment is what you’re aiming at, we’re probably not the firm for you. We’re looking for the brightest future commercial lawyers, who understand the work we undertake, the clients we work for, and who are passionate about principles. We encourage candidates with outside-work interests – we’d like to see those interests maintained and developed over the coming years. If you’re all this and an excellent communicator with a sound academic background, get in touch.

All trainees do seats in charity and social enterprise and dispute resolution or public and regulatory. Other seats available are immigration, corporate and commercial, employment and real estate.
