We hold a prominent position in the South West, are continuously moving up the national rankings and are known as a challenger firm in the London market. We attract an increasing amount of international work each year. We provide the best possible service to our clients, delivering complex and high-profile work. When recruiting trainees, we are looking for driven individuals who share our ambition and want to play a key part in our future growth. COLLABORATIVE Collaboration and team work are central to the way we operate. Although we are located across three different offices, we work as one firm. We service clients across multiple locations using multidisciplinary teams in an innovative and dynamic way. We encourage all of our people to build relationships across the Firm through collaborative client work, social events and CSR activities. The structure of our training programme allows our trainees to be part of our collaborative, cross-office culture from day one.
