Meet the host

VWV

At VWV we are proud of our identity and strong reputation. Located in London, Watford, Bristol and Birmingham, we are a full service law firm with a sector based approach where we believe in working together collaboratively to put our clients first. Our success as a firm is a reflection of the professional and personal fulfilment of our people. That's why we place so much emphasis on creating a supportive work environment that provides opportunities, encourages participation and fosters achievement. 

Each and every client receives bespoke and high-quality legal counsel, with VWV's lawyers going above and beyond to meet clients' needs. Our core sectors include charities, education, family-owned businesses, healthcare, private client and public sector. This sector focus is underpinned by core legal services including real estate, corporate, commercial (including IP and technology), employment, dispute resolution and tax. We also manage a personal injury division, Augustine's Injury Law.

Managing our early careers talent is at the heart of our recruitment strategy and we recognise that not everyone learns the same way. We're pleased to offer training contracts for graduates as well as solicitor apprenticeships for people who would like to qualify as a Solicitor but don't have a degree and would prefer to work as they study. If you're not ready to think about qualification just yet, then a paralegal opportunity is a great way to develop your practical legal skills.
