Firm description and career prospects
Bevan Brittan is a national commercial law firm who provide a comprehensive range of services to clients in the public, private and third sectors which commission, provide, procure, fund and regulate public services.
Types of work
Our core markets are health, local government, housing, waste, energy and renewables, education, emergency services, public infrastructure, charities and not-for-profit organisations. Our client base reflects this and includes a third of all NHS bodies and all local authorities in England, 30 housing associations, and over 100 private sector firms who serve these sectors - all working together on the delivery of public services. Our services include advice covering outsourcing, major infrastructure projects and PFI, employment matters, regulation and governance, property, construction, litigation and dispute resolution, and general commercial issues. The firm operates in cross-departmental teams across these markets, harnessing the full range of skills and experience needed to provide top-quality legal advice. Teams are established in practice areas such as employment, property, commercial and infrastructure and clinical risk, covering both private and public sectors.
Who should apply
We recognise that the most important prerequisite of quality service is a team of lawyers dedicated to service excellence. Our success is maintained by attracting and keeping talented legal minds. We are looking for bright people with sound common sense and plenty of energy, who can think logically and clearly.

Elena Goodfellow
Trainee Solicitor
I have really enjoyed my first year as a trainee at Bevan Brittan. My supervisor is always keen to give me complex work which means I contribute to the work of the firm rather than doing administrative tasks. The office in Birmingham is incredibly friendly and supportive.
Steven Eccles
Partner
Bevan Brittan takes its obligations to trainee solicitors really seriously and this is reflected in the quality of training contract on offer. Our trainees have access to top quality, challenging and newsworthy work, while its emphasis on encouraging a team-based approach makes everyone feel valued and motivated, whatever their role.
