Bristows is a specialist law firm for clients that innovate, working with businesses across technology, life sciences and other fast-moving sectors. In this session, members of the Bristows Early Careers team will take you through their recruitment process from start to finish, showing how each stage builds on the last. You’ll learn how to research the firm properly, write an application that shows genuine motivation, and use that same preparation to walk into your interview with a clear, consistent story about who you are. Stay for a live Q&A to put your own questions to the people who know the process best.
Key themes
While Bristows may not be the largest firm in the city, they more than make up for it with their passion for legal work and strong work-life balance. The firm has no hierarchy in the office and has been ranked one of the best firms for work-life balance, but this doesn’t mean they don’t work hard. The firm has advised Samsung, L’Oreal and the BBC to name but a few. They even advised Mondelez (owners of Cadbury) in a dispute about the shape of a Kit-Kat bar!
There is no one size fits all at the firm in regards to its employees. Lawyers at the firm have backgrounds in criminology, immunology and even zoology. Outside their legal work, the firm is passionate about Corporate Responsibility. Bristows work with the Social Mobility Foundation to provide a one week placement for A-level students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Employees even help to recycle work clothes for those who are unemployed and have an interview.
