Our people are our greatest asset. Many of them have decided to join BPE after working at larger firms because they wanted to combine good quality work with a culture that encourages staff to be practical, innovative and, above all, commercial.

We have plenty of home-grown talent too – people we have developed and supported to further their career and take on greater responsibility.

It's our culture that sets us apart from other firms. Our open plan office means that partners, trainee solicitors and support staff sit alongside each other. We're fairly informal too and people that thrive here work hard but also appreciate the fact that we respect people's work life balance. We're a sociable bunch and there are plenty of opportunities to get together with colleagues outside the office.

We invest heavily in training and development, ensuring staff have the IT skills to work efficiently, the technical skills to provide up-to-date advice and the 'soft' skills, such as client care training and networking support, to make the most of business development opportunities that may come their way.

Our benefits package is generous and includes a contributory pension scheme, 25 days holiday, income protection to cover long-term illness, childcare vouchers and death in service benefits.

After 10 years service all our staff are entitled to a two month paid sabbatical. Staff have used this time to travel to countries as diverse as Italy, Peru and Africa and America. Alternatively, you can simply relax at home and spend time with your family.

We are always keen to hear from ambitious solicitors who would like to join our team. As a growing firm, there are often opportunities to join our team in Birmingham and Cheltenham.

Current vacancies are placed on our website as they arise. However if you cannot see a suitable vacancy that matches your needs contact us and let us know what type of position you are looking for. If you're happy we will keep your CV on file and get in touch should an appropriate vacancy arise.
