BPE is proud to be different to many other law firms. We are prepared to pioneer new approaches to providing a better service for our clients. We invest time and resources in new teams where we see potential for growth. Our partners do not hide behind closed doors but instead work side-by-side their assistants and trainees so you have an opportunity to learn from their experience every step of the way.

Each team provides an exciting and stimulating training environment. You could find yourself getting involved in conference calls, networking at a seminar, attending an employment tribunal or helping to research a target client. We guarantee your training will be wide ranging, intensive and well balanced.

We adopt a flexible approach to your training. If you suspect commercial property may be your eventual specialisation or you have a passion for corporate work we will try to accommodate you.

With a presence in Birmingham and Cheltenham you can enjoy the challenge of working in two different legal marketplaces. You will be encouraged to meet clients and take on your own caseload and you will be given the opportunity to enjoy a 'hands on' approach from a very early stage.

The ethos of the firm is 'work hard, play hard' and we make the most of any opportunity to get together and have fun. From regular Friday happy hour sessions at a local wine bar, to firm-wide summer and Christmas parties and an away day for each team, there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know your colleagues outside work.

The firm takes its corporate social responsibility seriously and you will be encouraged to get involved in fundraising for our nominated charity of the year and supported if you wish to undertake a voluntary role in the community. The partners recently gave their blessing to five of our trainees trekking across the Atlas mountains in Morocco to raise money for the National Star College.
