Bristol, United Kingdom VWV Full time

Corporate Lawyer

Here at VWV our corporate team is thriving. Renowned as a firm for our culture and values, we pride ourselves on providing our lawyers with the greatest exposure to high quality work from the earliest stages of their careers.

We're on the lookout for a corporate lawyer with a strong grounding in M&A work (or a willingness to learn), to join the Bristol team to support our national offering.

We're looking for someone with enthusiasm and confidence to work on transactional work which flows from:

- our local market contacts and reputation;

- our sector strength, particularly in relation to our education sector clients; and

- our technology and life sciences (noting that Bristol and the South West is a hot spot for start ups and university spin-outs).

Perhaps you're approaching qualification and looking for a new role, or maybe you're a few years qualified and looking for a change.

About u s

Although we have over 500 employees and four offices in Bristol, Birmingham, London and Watford, you'll be struck by our close-knit culture. We believe in integrity and authenticity - in each one of us being ourselves both in our interactions with each other and with our clients.

As a Top 100 UK law firm you won't be surprised by the quality of our work, but you may be surprised by the breadth of it. Our clients range from family owned business, SMEs, PLCs and multi-national organisations within sectors such as healthcare, education, technology, life sciences, real estate and charities. We have a national and international reputation in relation to our prestigious sectors.

The opportunity

Whilst expertise is important, it's your enthusiasm to learn that really matters to us. Regardless of your level, you'll find yourself having direct contact with clients, many of whom will be at CEO or board level. We want you to enjoy building up relationships with our client; to feel a sense of ownership of your tasks and to relish in the satisfaction of a job well done.

This is high calibre work for sectors in which we have an enviable reputation - an opportunity for you to accelerate your career faster than in many firms. In working within a fast-paced and dynamic team, you'll enjoy the collaborative working style that we adopt here at VWV. This means that, upon joining, you'll find yourself quickly getting to know a range of lawyers across the teams and offices.

Our team and reputation

You'll join a close knit and collegiate Bristol team of over 15 individuals, and a total of around 30 experts across all of our offices.

We're a highly rated corporate team with a national presence in our sector focussed transactional work (see client directory testimonials below). 

"A great team, incredibly responsive and professional at all times. A pleasure to deal with."

"They led us through the process from start to finish, providing relevant guidance and information at key decision points, ensuring satisfactory completion within our preferred timeframe."

"All their work was timely, comprehensive and top quality."

Where will I be w orking ? 

At VWV we have a truly unique and engaging culture. We work hard but we also love to have fun and we recognise that it's the social interaction between us that really embeds our culture. Whilst it's your experience and enthusiasm that for us are key. We have a hybrid approach to working but we'd like you to work from our office for a portion of the week. In this way, you'll develop in the best possible way and benefit first-hand from our warm and friendly culture and newly-refurbished office space.

Why choose us ?

There are so many reasons to stop and explore us further, and we invite you to watch this short video on the right hand side to see what our own people have to say about us.

We're known for our friendly and welcoming culture where teamwork and collaboration is key.

We're striving to create an environment where everyone, regardless of background, can reach their full potential. If you require any special adjustments to be made in order to be considered for this vacancy please call our recruiter as we're happy to make the necessary adjustments and allowances.
