Collaborative approach, creative solutions – The Beale & Co ethos is about delivering a friendly and approachable service, with the commitment that the needs of our clients come first – at every stage.

Originally founded in 1838 we have over 180 years’ experience providing specialist legal advice to the construction, engineering, infrastructure and insurance sectors. With over 80 lawyers spread across offices in London, Bristol, Dublin and Dubai, we deliver an innovative and international service to our clients wherever they may be.

In an ever-changing legal market it has never been more important to maintain a high quality specialist service. We have a reputation for working to the highest standards and have thrived in response to a demand that has grown exponentially over the past 25 years.

Our approach is always consistent: we understand the often technically complex issues, identify solutions and implement an appropriate strategy to achieve a successful outcome. Our lawyers are experts in their field and have a genuine understanding of the industries in which they operate.

Moreover, our relative size combined with tight lines of communication makes us extremely agile and able to respond quickly and efficiently to demand. This means that the client gets a high quality and cost-efficient end-to-end service – all the way from briefing to resolution.

Our training contracts are designed to provide you with the legal experience and business skills to succeed as a lawyer. We are looking for bright, enthusiastic individuals who can think ‘outside the box’ and who are looking to build long and successful careers with us.

Trainees work alongside our leading professionals in the fields of construction (UK and international), insurance and corporate/commercial. From the start of the training programme you will be a real part of the team providing the quality service upon which we have built our reputation. We value our trainees and their contribution. You are our future. We will give you opportunities to build relationships with clients and take responsibility for your own matters.

We offer training contracts in three vibrant cities (London, Dublin and Bristol) all providing competitive salaries. There are also regular opportunities to spend time working in our Dubai office. We recognise the demands of performing in today’s business environment and encourage a healthy work/life balance as well as involvement in the active social scene within the Firm.
