"Great quality in specialist areas..., which is hard to find outside London" - _Chambers UK

We are looking for an ambitious and talented lawyer to join our highly regarded top tier Corporate team with opportunities across a variety of work types including Mergers & Acquisitions, Capital Markets & Governance and Private Equity / Venture Capital. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-respected and vibrant team with the prospect of a varied and interesting workload. You will have the opportunity to work on both national and international deals whilst all the time pursuing sector interests and within a supportive and collegiate environment. You will also be able to contribute to client relationship development and broaden your business development and networking skills, as well as involve yourself in our many cultural and social initiatives.

For me, Osborne Clarke's Bristol team strikes the perfect balance between exposure to engaging, stimulating deals and OC's famous culture. If you want the opportunity to work on interesting and often complex corporate transactions alongside talented and friendly colleagues, then I would absolutely recommend OC Bristol as an option."_ - James Mackay (Associate Director)

The Bristol team provide the full spectrum of corporate services including private equity, venture capital, mergers & acquisitions, joint ventures, equity capital markets, restructuring, reorganisations and governance. We focus on acting for clients at the forefront of transformational change in the key sectors of digital business, energy & utilities, financial services, mobility & infrastructure and the built environment, with a number of the partners in the team being leaders in those sectors and attracting high profile and innovative projects.

With clients such as large quoted companies, privately owned businesses, banks, financial institutions and institutional investors, in the last year the Bristol team have acted on over 60 deals with an aggregate value of over £2billion.
