The Midlands

As you would expect of Britain’s second city, Birmingham doesn’t disappoint. Having undergone a major facelift over the last 15 years or so it can truly offer diversity of clients, culture, arts and leisure activities. Having strong industrial roots the city is well networked by roads, trains and canals, interestingly rumoured to have more canals than Venice!

The law firms on offer here include national, global and well established leading firms such as Wragge & Co and SGH Martineau. You will find the majority of the firms surrounding the Colmore Row business area of the city including DLA Piper, Squire Sanders Hammonds, Eversheds and Pinsent Masons.

There has been a steady movement of staff at the more qualified level with the influx of other notable firms over recent years looking to expand and get established in Birmingham. This has been the case with firms like Clarke Willmott, Bevan Brittan, Browne Jacobson and Shoosmiths. Salaries are on a par with most regional centres and unlike some City practices you can still enjoy a greater variety of work as you don’t have to over specialise as your career progresses.

City living in Birmingham has transformed the centre of the city with the renovation of canal side apartments. On the leisure side the excellent venues in the city centre such as, the NIA and Symphony Hall, ensure an eclectic mix of many top performers to the city and with the NEC on your doorstep there is always something of interest to everyone. However, if you prefer the rolling countryside then you are spoilt for choice with the counties such as Warwickshire and Derbyshire within easy reach.
